Atoms now have two new vars: render_target and render_source. This can be used to reuse a rendered object multiple times in the render pipeline, or create input for certain filters. The value of these vars is a name of your choosing; if it starts with an asterisk, the object will not appear on the map directly. An object with a render_target must be within the visible map or HUD in order to be usable as a render_source on that same map control.

This issue has been resolved.
Being able to render something and reuse it multiple times, or as input to a filter, could be very useful.
