Hi Richard, 
I don't know of any.  The way I've done this kind of thing (access a context
and context property) is from a custom engraver that is part of a given
context and so it has access to it.  Perhaps a custom Scheme engraver that
takes its cues from the Chord_name_engraver would work?  

Another possibility might be to use a custom grob property instead, and
then, for example, you can access that custom value from the grob as you
override/modify other properties of that grob. (Maybe say resizing a grob's
stencil by a given amount stored in the custom grob property, if that works
and will do what you want?)

Maybe that helps,
-Paul
