Yes you can using the regular Perl Stash, but not using the XS Stash which
doesn't supports tied objects (something which is very non-trivial in XS
code).

TT3 provides a way around this with the TT_get($key) and TT_set($key, $value) 
methods.  You can provide these for your objects to handle the mapping to
internal methods.  e.g.

  sub TT_get {
    my ($self, $key) = @_;
    my $method = "swig_${key}_get";
    $self->$method();
  }

Not much help to you at the moment, but it is on the list of "things broken
in TT2 and fixed in TT3".
