It is possible to do something like this:
[(counter id=myvar '{(somefunc)}' output=true)]
Then to retrieve it elsewhere...
[(counter id=bob = output=true)]
The first sets it to your counter var bob and saves it as a global,
and the second retrieves it without incrementing that value (the =).
But it will not work if the you try to retrieve the value before it
has been set, such as in a side bar loaded before the main zone...
Cheers,

P.S. You might do better to create a custom function that does
something similar, setting a variable, and then using a custom markup
to simply inject that number as needed.
