Here you'll find an overview of the PayPal variables (depending on which API you use): https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables/

If you don't find a proper variable you can add a GET parameter to the notify_url (which is the URL for IPN). If you do so I would suggest to hash the value at least (better encrypt). If the IPN comes in you just have to read the GET-Value ( and decrypt it) and you have the reference to your data.

Hope it helps, Sascha
