Hello, I am attempting to write a native plugin that scores documents relative to properties of a given document, call it X. A naive approach is to pass the properties of X to the plugin as parameters, but this exposes the inner workings of the scoring. Ideally, the ID of X could be passed to the script, which could lookup the necessary properties and compute the score. I don't see any way to access X from a script... is this possible? Thanks! ---

Scoring is meant to access a single document at a time, in docid order. You can't jump to another document. ---
