To my knowledge, there isn't a function to do this. Typically the descriptive text is defined in the plugin's "description part" and hence doesn't have scope outside that code block, but it doesn't need to be this way. Instead, you can define it, say, at the top of the plugin and refer to it both in the description part as well as when reporting a vulnerability. See, for example, my imp_detect.nasl (plugin #12643).
