Description
Wouldn't it be cool if you could pass variables through query params to adjust attributes in the PEP?
For example, say a PEP has a derived column that uses an environment variable like $DATA, because the files are stored in $DATA/subfolder/{sample_name}.fq, or something.
If when you hit the endpoint to get some file attribute, you could pass /endpoint?DATA=/my/local/path, then the server could return a path that was useful for your local environment.

Research direction
Start by locating the API endpoint that returns file attributes and trace how PEP derived columns and environment variables are resolved. Clarify query-parameter substitution, precedence, and security behavior, then add coverage showing that a DATA parameter changes the returned local path.
