There is one but you should not use it.  Instead you should send a patch
that adds an export to the previously private declaration.
And the way is to use the @@ function, but code that relies on it is
AFAIK not acceptable in Guix.

The info pages should have more, well, info.  Easiest way to find them
IMHO is through Emacs.  There is also an HTML mirror:

According to the URL above, it's #$output[:output].

I hope that helped.  Happy packaging. UwU
