You mean like handing off the buffer?  I don't think Vector has such a
capability at the moment.  We normally pre-allocate Vector buffer and call
whatever function with that buffer in cases like this.  e.g.

Vector<uint8_t> digest;
digest.reserveInitialCapacity(digestSize);
cryptographicDigest(source, digest.data(), digest.size());
