Retrieve the handle of an indexed entity.

Even if they are usually accessed using a numerical index from the global data, entities such as A3DGraphMaterialData each have a handle like any other entity.

This function allows you to retrieve the entity handle behind an indexed data. From the entity, additional content can be obtained, such as meta-data.
