How to manually pass an argument to a views block through interface

Views content panes had a nice configuration feature where you could configure a views content pane with a contextual filter to to pane in a number of ways, either from the context, or inserting the ID for the filter element manually. I am guessing that the new Chaos Tools Views that comes with 8.x-3.x is intended to deliver similar features.

It seems as though the module makes available in the block config page a number of visitbility options, including a data comparison option, which looks like it might provide the feature I'm looking for, but I can't see how to configure it.

It would be great if I could get some documentation. Willing to help with testing and further documentation.

    Just applied patch #100 on ctools 4.0.4 and Drupal 9.5.11 and seems to be working great with layout builder.

    Using #100 with drupal 10.3.2 and ctools 4.1.0 with great success!

    The issue Title "How to manually pass an argument to a views block through interface" was confusing to me and took me a while, to find this and to also understand, that it is the robust solution i was searching for.

    Maybe: "Allow manual passing of arguments to Views Block from Block Display configuration"
