Channel from connected node?

[monomind 2]

I've made a custom integer on a file node - and I would like to use that for naming my files in ROP file output. File node is directly connected to ROP out.

How can I reach this custom parameter on connected opinput?

Custom parameter name is "mode" - here is what I tried:

if it's integer then something like this

$HIP/layers/`ch(opinputpath(".",0) + "/mode")`.png

if string

$HIP/layers/`chs(opinputpath(".",0) + "/mode")`.png

Hm, can I read the first input of another node?

NODE 1 connected to NODE 2 --- I'm in NODE 5, trying to get NODE 1 from NODE 2
