Using MenuItem fields in transformations in repeaters

Is it possible to grab a custom field from a MenuItem (in this case MenuItemCategory) and use it in a custom function on a transformation of a repeater on that page? The repeater displays the document type custom.keycontact and the documents it’s referencing are not directly below the page (as several pages will be referencing them) so I can’t use NodeParentID.

Specifically, in the below bit of code, “Renewables” should be replaced with whatever the MenuItemCategory is on the page containing the Repeater.

<%# BishopFlemingFunctions.MultipleProfiles(""+ Eval("contactMultiple") +"", "Renewables") %>

Can this be achieved?
