here an example (the actual case in more complex, but the point it's the same)
do $$
declare
_attribute_list temp1.my_type[];
_attribute temp1.my_type;
_r record;
begin
_attribute_list=array[row(1,'Hello') , row(2,'Goodbye')];
_attribute= row(1,'Doh!!!!');
raise notice '%', _attribute_list;
for _r in execute 'select * from unnest($1) where foo=1' using _attribute_list loop
raise notice '%', _r;
end loop;
--Error
execute 'select * from $1' using _attribute into _r;
raise notice '%', _r;
end;
$$;
So I able to manage an array of complex type (why I use an array, because in a previous answer the community suggest to me to use an array to pass a list of information instead of temporary table), but I can't do the same thing with just an element.
Of course I can set an element as part of an array with just that element but. it's sad...

I am trying to wrap my head around "array of composite type". Please
provide an example.
ARRAY[ (1,2)::point, (3,4)::point ]::point[]
The main problem is the concept of writing "from($1)" in any query makes no sense, you cannot parameterize a from clause directly like that. You have to put the value somewhere an expression is directly allowed.
