Is there a way to find out the position in xyz space of a poly goal?

I have particles with goalU and goalV if my goal object was nurbs I could easily
find out where the particles were being attracted to by

float $pos[]=`pointPosition nurbs.uv[goalU][goalV]`;

unfortunately I am not using nurbs so I want to find a way of doing the same thing with
a poly object

Select the particle object, look in the Attribute Editor for the particleShape node, there's a subsection that says "Goal Weights and Objects". Open it and look for a button that says "Create goalWorldPosition0PP". This will create a perParticle attribute with the xyz position the goal point.
