Access Object UserText from Grasshopper Python without 'GUID' input type

The first part is making sure you are getting the ID of the Referenced Rhino object.
example here might help:

Reorder paths using python

If I had to guess, I would say that the native GH components are somehow keeping track of the actual Rhino Object IDs and/or Rhino Objects. When you pass your referenced geometry through a component, it becomes a GH object, with a unique GH GUID. As far as I know, GH objects do NOT store the attributes of their referenced Rhino counterparts. You will need to someone, retrieve/store the RHINO obj and use that to retrieve attributes. Object attributes, (again, as far as I know,) are stored in …

You can then use that to look into the rhino document and retrieve the user text of the object.
