It is possible to retrieve text object properties using its GUID:

import Rhino
rhino_object = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.Objects.FindId(id)
if (rhino_object, Rhino.DocObjects.TextObject):
    text = rhino_object.Geometry
    if isinstance(text, Rhino.Geometry.TextEntity):
        a = text.PlainText

private void RunScript(Guid id, ref object A)
{
  var rhinoObject = RhinoDocument.Objects.FindId(id);
  if (rhinoObject is TextObject)
  {
    var text = rhinoObject.Geometry as TextEntity;
    A = text.PlainText;
  }
}

Rhino 8 introduces the new Text Entity parameter to make working with text objects easier (read more…):

There are a whole bunch of new components in GH1 for Rhino8 which add more integration between GH and Rhino. Support for annotations is part of that.

Thanks David!

After our company will upgrade to Rhino8, we will use these new features.
