OOPS!
Honest officer, that was an accident...
That trigger finger of mine clicke on "send" just a little bit too early

Right, I was going to say, that personally I'd be inclined to use
Data = sendSprite(spriteNum, #getSomeData)
But if you really don't want to do that, you might consider using #Call with
the script instanceList of the sprite.
if i is the number of the called behaviour in the scriptInstanceList, then
the syntax would probably be:
Data = call(#getSomeData, theScriptInstanceList[i], args...)
or you could even use the whole scriptInstanceList -
Data = Call (#getSomeData, theScirptInstanceList, args...)
But it's just as long as sendSprite, so I don't see much difference.
Hope this sparks some ideas.
