Can a Numeric Text Field component be bind to a Delay Block’s Delay time in the Alarm Pipeline Blocks?

Because I would like to have a dynamic Memory Tag bind to a Numeric Text Field component where an end-user can change the delay timer from the Vision Client.

If so, what Delay Block’s property could I bind a tag to?

It doesn’t look like the delay block (or any other block, really) configuration settings are bindable right now.

I’ll take a deeper look and see if that’s something we can possibly change or not, but my intuition says no because we’re talking about configuration settings that are saved to the internal DB as part of the configuration of each block and read when blocks are initialized, not as properties that are evaluated at “run time” for the blocks.
