My colleagues and I needed to know the current project the user is on in our Plugin and we came up with this solution:

Assuming your plugin also resides in a web-item and has it’s own servlet:

<web-item name="yourWebitemName" i18n-name-key="yourWebitemTranslationKey"
              key="yourKey" section="sectionOfYourChoice"
              weight="1000">
        <description key="yourDescriptionKey"/>
        <label key="yourLabelKey"/>
        <link linkId="yourLink">
            /plugins/servlet/your/servlet?target=1&amp;projectKey=$helper.project.key
        </link>
    </web-item>

This is the important part to include
?target=1&amp;projectKey=$helper.project.key

Hope this helps.
