Pass a generic or make generic/constant available via qsys

Hi guys I wanted to ask if there's a possibility to either pass a generic/constant argument to qsys IP or make the defined generic/constant available. The idea is to define the value of an SPI cl...

Are you saying this is a parameter set in a standalone IP that you want to transfer into a lower-level (instantiated) Platform Designer system?

Or are you saying this is a component already in a PD system that you want to want to pass its parameter value elsewhere in the system (hierarchical system design)?

Thank you for your reply.
The parameter is set in an IP (4-line SPI) that you can generate with qsys. It's a standalone IP, I'd guess.
My aim is to set this parameter either via a generic that can be generated in 'HDL parameters' (see: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683609/21-3/exporting-hdl-parameters-to-a-system.html) or I make this value I set in the given screenshot to other VHDL modules available. It's just to avoid one source for potential mistake.
