Robust Transform - how to Reference target value?

Using the legacy transform maps, it's very easy to retain the existing value, or use that information in the logic of your transform.
Using the Robust Transformer, I'm having a hard time figuring out any way to do this.

Example: 
I would like to import a discovery record to update a CI.  Among many other things, that update would update the ci's model_id.  The import works, it updates all attributes of the CI correctly.   

However, I would now like to make the ci.model_id update conditional, and only update the model_id if the target CI's model_id is currently empty.   Or maybe only update the model_id field if the ci.asset.purchase_line is empty.

This is very easy to accomplish using legacy transforms.  How can I accomplish this with the Robust Transform Engine?

Thanks,
-Stephen
