Not really, it's nothing like user data. You have to make the client bind to a new protocol interface you designed, and then use events to pass the data to the client. If you need to pass significant amounts of data, you can use a mechanism similar to passing XKB keymaps, see wl_keyboard.keymap event. There the compositor creates the shm file. If you want the shm file created by the client, you pass the file descriptor in the other direction, similar to wl_shm.create_pool, have the server fill out the memory, and then send an event to say it's done or rely on a wl_display.sync roundtrip.
