I'd recommend setting the weightmap weights to a custom attribute, and using locations (Get Closest Location, Index/ID To Location, etc.) to get the value of said attribute.
When you fetch from a location it usually adapts or interpolates to the correct context. If you show an example of what you're trying to do it'll be easier to help you.
