Nope. As long as the custom property is typed appropriately (and specified inheritable), all you need to pass it down to arbitrarily distant descendants is to set it once on the child of the element you’re querying.

I agree that declarative functions would be immensely useful, but let's try to keep the discussion about each feature in its own issue otherwise it becomes difficult to untangle.
