Extensions for Joomla! 3.x • How to retrieve items in component without $this?

I have an event management component (iCagenda). I assign a unique id to events, and I want people to be able to register by going to a link such as

Or better yet



http://ift.tt/1Hab8As



But this 2nd option would probably require rewrite rules, etc.



The thing is, currently the registration view file retrieves item data through $this. To implement this how I envision, that will not work for me. I need to be able to circumvent $this and just get the item data based on the id that is passed in the url.



Is there a joomla call I can use, such that the result is equivalent to $this?



Thanks!
