what do you mean by “reverse routing”?

if i define an endpoint, 
get("/my-path", ::controller)
, can i somehow get the path by asking ktor, using the controller as an argument?
getRoute(::controller)
would return 
"/my-path"

not out of the box, no
you can scan the routing tree and find it, if it’s not in a performance critical code
what’s the task at hand, what are you trying to achieve where you need it?

a typical task would be building a link to one of your controllers. i'm not trying to use it in ktor, i'm just evaluating the usefulness of the feature. it's something i used a lot when i was using the play framework, but no other frameworks seem to implement it.
i think it's a really useful feature, but not a lot of people seem to agree

What would the result be if 
::controller
is registered to multiple routes?
