Bring in objects as points through panels

I am working on a project where i need to load a file to a website using grasshopper as the primary modeling tool. I am modeling a simple watch in grasshopper, and I was wondering if there is a way to bring in the rhino file as surfaces in grasshopper. In other words. When i go to load my definition to the server, I will not be able to reference the rhino geometry by setting surfaces or curves. Is there a way to embed this reference object as a list of data independent of the rhino geometry through a panel or any other method?

I'm not sure if I understand You well but maybe You might try to Internalise Data. Right click on the component (for example Geometry). If it has anything connected to the input after Internalising Data it will be disconnected and all the data from the input will be stored in that component. If You send it via email, the one who open it can extract data from that component and bake it to rhino.

Thanks Adam,

Up until now, I was unaware of the internalize option. Thank you so much, I spent hours trying to figure this out and would have spent much more time on it without your help.

Best
