I'm wondering is it possible to have like a one time initialization for a delegate with reference to the KProperty? its only possible to access the KProperty from within the getter and setter methods

currently in both my getter and setter i check if a lateinit var is initialized, and if it isnt then I initialize it using the name provided by the KProperty

Sounds like https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.properties/-property-delegate-provider/provide-delegate.html could help you out

Better doc is probably https://kotlinlang.org/docs/delegated-properties.html#providing-a-delegate
