Inspired by the $P$-wave molecular interpretation of the recently observed vector state $G(3900)$, we analyze the production of its possible pseudoscalar partner, denoted here as $G_0(3900)$, via the radiative decay $Y(4230) \to \gamma G_0(3900)$. The $G_0(3900)$ is interpreted as a $P$-wave molecular state with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=0^{-+}$, dominated by the $D\bar{D}^{\ast}/\bar{D}D^{\ast}$ components. Although not yet experimentally established, such a structure is expected to appear near the $D\bar{D}^*$ threshold and to exhibit characteristic production patterns. The decay is assumed to proceed through a triangle mechanism. Depending on the model parameters and the binding energy of $G_0(3900)$, the resulting branching fraction lies in the range $\mathcal{B}(Y(4230) \to \gamma G_0(3900)) = 3.8 \times 10^{-5} - 3.3 \times 10^{-4}$. Our results offer a pathway to search for signatures of $G_0(3900)$ in radiative channels and also provide a test of the consistency of loop-mediated radiative decays with a molecular description of the $Y(4230)$.
