Yes, the marker that points to the original entry is stored in text  
properties.
You can take it and then go to the entry, for example with

(org-with-point-at (org-get-at-bol 'org-hd-marker)
     ;; do here what you need to do at the location of the entry
     )

You could do this in org-finalize-agenda-hook for all entries, for  
example.
Might slow things down, of cause.
