It is possible, but you have to do a bit of manipulation in order to get their.

First, add the Ray that you want. Then add the "Spreadsheet Formula" study to the chart. The Spreadsheet Formula, despite it's name, uses the Alert Syntax, and the Alerts have a method to access information from a drawing to be used in an alert. Refer to the following:
Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Referencing Chart Drawings

Therefore, in the Spreadsheet formula, in order to reference the price of one of the anchors from the ray drawing, you would enter the following formula:
=UDID[1].A1

Where [1] is the positive value of the ID of the drawing and A1 is the first anchor point. The ID of the drawing is shown on the Chart Drawing Properties on the "Anchors" page.

You can then reference the subgraph from the Spreadsheet Formula in other studies to do what you want.
