Can the class of the canonical bundle be recovered from the total space of the cotangent bundle if one forgets that it is a cotangent bundle?

This is a somewhat speculative question, so bear with that (or not, as is your preference). Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety, and let $\omega_X$ be its canonical sheaf. The Euler class of ...
