Not in any direct sense. Building an inbound interceptor flow and/or a Java filter or something along those lines provides access to the original request and we (and SWF) provide many different mechanisms for saving off data that could be used later in the implementation of your logic to do something based on it, but that's about it.

Another trick I have used is overloading the target parameter to carry additional information, since that's already exposed as the RelayState value. That's probably the simplest way, though it's a little bit iffy design-wise. I don't generally want to see unsolicited SSO rely on target anyway as that's inappropriate (if an SP needs a state token, it damn well should support the standard and make its own requests).
