Not per se, but TextMate does give you a TM_DOCUMENT_UUID and 
TM_PROJECT_UUID variable.

The former is unique per document and the latter is unique per project 
(window).

You can use these as keys into shared storage (such as files in TMPDIR) 
to store things that you wish to associate with a single document or 
project.

Presently though there is no cleanup callback, so if you spawn a server 
process for a document or project, you should have it shutdown 
automatically if it hasn’t seen any activity for some amount of time.
