The author of a pipeline can define their pipeline to accept options,
and then pass those along when they invoke the declared step.
<p:pipeline name="example">
<p:option name="command-line-option" />
<ex:step name="example-step">
<p:option name="step-option" select="$command-line-option" />
</ex:step>
</p:pipeline>
Which options they choose to expose in this way is up to them.
In what way doesn't this address your requirement?
