Any suggestion?
To my knowledge, you cannot access variables of a defined type instance. I'm not sure they even exist outside the definition. What you can do is establish a source of truth outside the definition that the definition and all other interested parties draw on. That could be a variable in some shared lexical scope, a global or class variable, or external data accessed via extlookup() or hiera. That would be a pretty good design strategy even if you were using classes rather than definitions.
