The cleanest way I can think of is
e <- new.env(parent=environment(model))
assign(".weight.", whatever, envir=e)
environment(model) <- e
lm(model, data=data, weights=.weight.)
(You could assign directly into environment(model), but that might
have side effects. Use a "strange" name so as not to clash with
variables in "data", or in environment(model))
