afaik there's no way to do that. i'm not sure what exactly you want to 
do, but

renderSkin(app.getSkin(protoName, skinName, []));

should work (the third argument is a skinpath array, as used in 
res.skinpath). the above statement would render the skin in global 
context, but it seems that you can render the skin in the context of 
another HopObject too, by using

myHopObject.renderSkin(app.getSkin(protoName, skinName, []));

(didn't test that, though)
