Not currently, no. You'd have to load the app, get the conf value, and  
unload it. Not ideal.

How about ditching the DataTree in Agora? That's going to be the  
eventual goal for all datatree usage, and while right now we don't  
have a replacement for the forums tree, it should be relatively simple  
to replace message storage. I don't really want to spend a lot of time  
trying to get more out of the datatree given that really it should be  
abandoned.
