The short answer is that there isn't a preferred way to do that
and start-retrieval is specific to the declarative module/retrieval
buffer.

If you provide me with more context as to what you're trying to
accomplish with the module and model (things like why another buffer,
will it use the same activation equation and parameters, do you want
it work in parallel with the existing declarative module, etc) I can
provide more info as to possible solutions.
