If "#coordinates:" gives us an easy way to write primary coordinates into the database from a template on a page, then what's the corresponding way for page templates to read the information out again elsewhere on the page?

Presumably there's some way to do this, perhaps some "Magic Words", like LAT and LONG that would let us access this info from elsewhere in the page in a standardised format, but I'm having trouble finding any info on how to do this.

Can someone confirm that this data can be accessed from within the page?

From the documentation, I assume that the data can be accessed through the API only. I think that being able to access it by using a parser function would be great, and would eliminate the need for the double storage of the data in another retrieval system, such as SMW. Of course integration between the two would be magnificent, but let's hope for little.
