Right. I thought you meant a property of your own.
Why not store it in the Marker after construction, like this?
var url = getUrlForMarker(); // i assume you have some sort of url that
changes...
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
icon: url
});
marker.iconUrl_ = url;
then you can access the 'iconUrl_' property wherever you want.
Alternatively (and probably better), store it as a MVC property with set and
get...
marker.set('iconUrl', url);
then you can marker.get('iconUrl') later.
