So you're looking for a way for a future to make use of temporary access to state just while being polled? The issue being that since a future captures references in self you can't have multiple futures able to reference the same data via a &mut pointer. Instead you need to use Rc.
If I'm understanding, then I don't yet follow the use case. You want to have multiple actors reading from the same message queue? Or different concurrent chunks inside of the actor?
This feels to me to strain against the actor design pattern a lot. I feel this often, that futures are somewhat in tension with actors. There are too many options.
