Yeah, maybe dblink and a LATERAL join might be an easy way. Something like:

create extension dblink;
select d.datname,c.relname from pg_database d, lateral (select * from
dblink('dbname='||d.datname,$$select relname from pg_class where
relname = 'pg_class';$$) c(relname text)) c
(relname) where d.datallowconn;
  datname   | relname
------------+----------
 postgres   | pg_class
 template1  | pg_class
 regression | pg_class
(3 rows)
