Can we pass parameters/arguments to reusable step

Question

We have steps that we are using for testing our python services.

The steps called 9 times and the only change inside the steps is the argument passed to our script

pipelines:
default:
    - parallel:
        - <<: *python-service-...1
        - <<: *python-service-...2
        - <<: *python-service-...3
        - <<: *python-service-...4
        ...

Can we pass an argument to one reusable step ??

Something like this:

pipelines:
default:
    - parallel:
        - <<: *python-test {...1}
        - <<: *python-test {...2}
        - <<: *python-test {...3}
        - <<: *python-test {...4}
        ...

python-test: &python-test
  step:
image: ...
name: Python Test - $SERVICE
script:
      - source scripts/python_test.sh $SERVICE
artifacts:
      - "**/$SERVICE-coverage.xml"

Also need the current functionality

It won't help me to parallelize the flow, I will need to handle threads/processes inside the script.

In the case of pytest/pip, I don't want to handle threads.

You can definitely call a script from a step, and have it call the script with each of the arguments. But as for getting the pipeline to pass the argument and to perform the steps in parallel....not that I know of.
