Is there a way to access information from the currently displayed record in a flow in Salesforce?

Is there a way to access information from the currently displayed record in a flow?

I have a custom object Taxpayer and that taxpayer has a lookup to the Town object. A Town has multiple Taxpayers and a Taxpayer can have multiple Tax Accounts. I have a flow that creates a Tax Account that would have a lookup to Taxpayer and a lookup to Town. Currently, my flow asks me to select a Town, then select a Taxpayer in that Town and then it can populate those fields on a newly created Tax Account. But if I am already on a Taxpayer record page, these fields already exist, and when I start my flow I would like to be able to skip these two prompts for Town and Taxpayer. If this were possible, I could use a decision element to decide whether I can skip over the screen elements where I capture the Town and Taxpayer from the user. But I haven't found a way to access the Town and Taxpayer fields on the currently open record when I start the flow.
