Setting "global" options from a submodule?

I'd like to set a "global" option from within a submodule, but the config I return is grafted into the "global" under the submodule "path" rather than at the root... any idea if it's somehow possible?

Er... I guess I didn't make a great job at explaining what I want to do... Some code will hopefully help.

In mymodule.nix I have:

{ lib, config, ... }: {

  options.myoption = lib.mkOption {
      type = lib.types.attrsOf (lib.types.submodule (
        import ./mysubmodule.nix
      ));
  };

}

and mysubmodule.nix is:

{ name, lib, config, ... }: {

options.mysubmoduleoption = {
  type = lib.types.str;
};

config = {
  # here I want to set a "global" option, say "systemd.mounts"
  # based on the value of "mymodule.name.mysubmoduleoption"
  # but it seems I can only set values under "mymodule.name" 
};

}
