I am not so sure about what you really need. I am guessing you want to access a FlexForm configuration inside your TypoScript?

Since the version 8.4 this is possible by using plain TypoScript

lib.flexformContent = CONTENT
lib.flexformContent {
    table = tt_content
    select {
        pidInList = this
    }

    renderObj = COA
    renderObj {
        10 = TEXT
        10 {
            data = flexform: pi_flexform:settings.categories
        }
    }
}

The key flexform is followed by the field which holds the flexform data and the name of the property whose content should be retrieved.

Before 8.4 you need to use a userFunc and retrieve the value by using PHP

 $flexFormService = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(FlexFormService::class);
 $flexFormKey = str_replace('.', '|', $keyParts[1]);
 $settings = $flexFormService->convertFlexFormContentToArray($flexFormContent);
