I'm working on a special material/shader combination. The material caches some data which I then need to access from the shader. So the shader must get a material-unique ID or the material object itself to gain access to the proper data.
Do you have any idea how to do this? -

The shader can just hold a BaseLink to the material and exchange data through messages. (If the code is in a different module, otherwise direct access is possible with just a pointer to the material.)
