    there doesn’t seem to be a way to have an expression access data from a path.

    you can ‘attach’ a layer to a path by selecting the mask’s ‘mask path’ in the timeline and copy/pasting it into the layer’s position property.

    the layer/object should then follow the path. you can adjust the timing by moving the keyframes.

    if you wanted the object to orient along the path, you could then choose layer>transform>auto orient and choose ‘along path’.
