If you click on the button indicated in the attached picture you will toggle on the "Keep UV and edit mode mesh selection in sync" action. This will show, when in edit mode, all the faces of the mesh in the "UV Editor" window. If you use the "L" key in the left window (3D View) you will select all the faces in each separate mesh element, these faces will then be highlighted in the "UV Editor".
