Could it be possible to detect planets from stars that went supernova through the resulting nebula shape?
The escape speed of a big planet like Jupiter is about 60 km/s.
The speed of the ejecta from a supernova explosion is something like $10^4$ km/s.
i.e. Jupiter would have little discernable ...

Supernova remnant spectral lines
In addition to AtomDB, another useful resource is the x-ray data booklet provided by LBNL. Specifically, this table has some common x-ray emission lines. My recommendation would be to fit the spectrum ...

Supernova remnant spectral lines
I would go to the AtomDB and then look for lines with high emissivity in a specific wavelength region.
So under "List lines in wavelength region:" select a not too wide energy band and play ...
