It's up to you to save the pointer somewhere where you can find it again
when you need it. If there's only one interesting plan, use a static
variable. Otherwise, you'll need some sort of data structure to map
from what-you-need to the-plan-that-does-it. You can find examples of
these approaches in the PG sources (from memory, ruleutils.c has some
examples of the former approach while ri_triggers.c does the latter).
