Is it possible to assign a pulled item to a pulled object in process flow?

In the attached example, the created item labeled token.item is pushed and pulled to different lists. On that item, I have pulled a piece of equipment by setting the puller as token.item. Is it possible to access/keep that equipment on the created item, as the token.item is pushed and pulled to different lists?

You can label the item and equipment based on the pulled equipment and the puller as you have set up - that way those objects always have a reference to each other.

Model attached.

assign-to-pulled-item-jl-edited.fsm @Jason Lightfoot ok I see. but later in the process, I need to put that equipment back on the equipment list. How can I reference the equipment later, in process 2 for example? Also just a note this is a small example from a larger model with multiple piece of equipment and processes.
