Default wall outlet breakers

Just out of curiosity, is there a way to tell if two wall outlets are on
the same circuit breaker without tripping the breaker or turning breakers
on and off? I'm pretty sure it's not possible but maybe there's a way I
hadn't thought of.

TIA

Get a "circuit tracer". One part plugs into the powered outlet. It
injrcts a signal onto the wire. The other part "sniffs" the signal at
the breaker panel. The good quality ones can differentiate between
adjacentbreakers.
