Accessing layout renderer values from within a target

[Thomas Ardal]

I was wondering if it is possible to access the values of generated layout renderers from within a target. Let's say I implement a target that want to ping a hostname every time someone logs anything. To do this, I would need to access the value of ${machinename} from within my target. I don't want to add ${machinename} as part of the layout which ends up in the log file (or whatever target I use).
