Can you take attributes from array type element?

[Tricky]

Is there any way to get access to the elements in an array type?

eg, array is declared:
type sfixed_array_t is array(integer range<>) of sfixed(5 downto -12);

is there any way to access the length of the sfixed element via the
sfixed_array_t?

Or do I just have to declare a subtype and make an array of them?

Once you declare a signal or variable of the sfixed_array_t, (or
you're within a function or a procedure that gets passed an
sfixed_array_t parameter) then you can get the length of an element of
the array.

No there isn't

Exactly. Then you can use attributes of the subtype to get details such
as the length of the element.
