I'm confidant astronomers using the detection methods that found Sedna and other deep small bodies in the solar system, or other future methods will eventually find Oort cloud bodies.

Considering we've gone from zero extrasolar planets 20 years ago to 891 today and gone from Pluto as a planet to Pluto demoted due to finding similar bodies in it's neighborhood I doubt it'll take millions of years to find the first one.
