Why is alias not known? – wingyip
This is a for a package which returns the types of fields on a content page, so we do not know the alias or id of the user content page – learner_01
What details about each field do you need – wingyip

If you want to get the property without knowing the alias or id, then you will need to iterate though the properties and you may get more than one of that type. I'm not sure what the context is for this, but it appears that the Umbraco published cache does not include the property editor type. This means you can't do something like the following in a view:

foreach (var property in Model.Properties.Where(x => x.PropertyType.PropertyEditorAlias == "Umbraco.Textbox"))
{
    var propValue = property.Value;
}

But you can use the ContentService to get this data:

var docProperties = ApplicationContext.Services.ContentService.GetById(Model.Id).Properties.Where(x => x.PropertyType.PropertyEditorAlias == "Umbraco.Textbox");
foreach (var property in docProperties)
{
    var propValue = property.Value;

}

Warning, this will query the database as it is not using the Umbraco Cache.
