2 page list/detail setup - how to grab content for the when using layouts

I have a 2-page list/detail setup for a portfolio and want to grab the content from a text region (<perch:content id="client_name" type="text" label="Client name" />) and put it in the <title> tag. I'm using layouts for the header.

I've seen a similar question in the forums, but not one involving layout files. Is it possible?

MY HEADER FILE:

<!doctype html> <html class="no-js" lang="en" dir="ltr"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="ie=edge"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title><?php perch_layout_var('title'); ?></title> <?php perch_page_attributes(); ?> </head> <body class="<?php perch_layout_var('class'); ?>">

MY DETAIL PAGE:

<?php include('../perch/runtime.php'); ?>

<?php perch_layout('header', array( 'title'=>'Work', 'class'=>'work', )); ?>

<?php $result = perch_content_custom('Work', array( 'page' => '/work/index.php', 'template' => 'work_detail.html', 'filter' => 'slug', 'match' => 'eq', 'value' => perch_get('s'), 'count' => 1, 'skip-template' => true, 'return-html' => true, )); ?>

<div class="row"> <div class="small-12 medium-3 medium-offset-9 columns workdetailheader prevnext"> <p> <?php PerchSystem::set_var('is_prev', true);

perch_content_custom('Work', array(
'page' => '/work/index.php',
'template'   => 'work_prevnext.html',
'filter'     => '_order',
'match'      => 'lt',
'value'      => $result[0]['_sortvalue'],
'sort'       => '_order',
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
'count'      => 1,

));

PerchSystem::set_var('is_prev', false);

perch_content_custom('Work', array( 'page' => '/work/index.php', 'template' => 'work_prevnext.html', 'filter' => '_order', 'match' => 'gt', 'value' => $result[0]['_sortvalue'], 'sort' => '_order', 'sort-order' => 'ASC', 'count' => 1, )); ?> </p> </div> </div>

<?php echo $result['html']; ?>

<?php perch_layout('footer'); ?>

You can pass variables into layouts, so you would need to retrieve the value before calling the layout, store it as a variable then pass that into the layout.
