@goodtogood I'm hitting a very similar problem and below might help you but I'm hoping someone else speaks up with a better solution that works for both of us.

In my case I want to declare two options at the top level and then access their values in several subcommands of subcommands.

I see I can access the options with app.Options but it's not straightforward and for things like a boolean option for verbose I lose the details that it's a boolean and the values for that CommandOption is an empty array of strings with the HasValue property is set to true.

namespace Cli.Components.Commands.Configuration
{
    [Command(Name = "validate")]
    internal class ValidateCmd : CommandBase 
    {
        ConfigurationCommandGroup Parent { get; }
        public ValidateCmd(ILogger<ValidateCmd> logger)
        {
            _logger = logger;
        }
        protected override async Task<int> OnExecute(CommandLineApplication app)
        {
            // Looping through each option
            foreach (var opt in app.GetOptions())
            {
                if (opt.HasValue())
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(opt.OptionType);
                    Console.WriteLine(opt.LongName + "=" + opt.Values);
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(opt.LongName + "= No Value");
                }
            }

            // Another way to access the values
            var options = app.GetOptions().ToDictionary(x => x.LongName, x => x.Values);
            Console.WriteLine("config path = " + options["config-path"][0]);
            Console.WriteLine("verbose = " + options["verbose"]);
            _logger.LogInformation("Executing config validate command.");
            return 0;
        }
    }
}
