Is there anyway to get an object using the results of str(...)

bitwes

If I use str(my_object) I get back something like [Reference:958]. Is there anyway to use that ID and type to get a reference to it later?

I'm doing some "dynamic" class creation by writing a .gd file and loading it later. I want one of the functions I created to return the object that I'm calling str on.

Less than a minute after posting I found get_instance_id and instance_from_id. This worked flawlessly. I was able to write my script to do something like:

func get_that_external_obj():
  return instance_from_id(123)
