For a project I'm working on I have a custom EditorWindow I use for various things. One of the things I now want to do with it requires a Material. The Material already exists, but it's not clear to me how to get a reference to it from the EditorWindow script.

If this were runtime code I'd either have a reference from an object in the scene or use Resources.Load, but neither of these is OK in this case. I can't reference from the scene since this EditorWindow is a debugging tool which needs to work with any scene. I can't use Resources.Load, because that would cause the Material to be added to the runtime resource bundle, which is wrong.

What's the best way to do this? Failing that, what's the least horrible hack that will work?

Aha, thanks. So basically just AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath() - that's nice and easy!
