Yes, use _arguments function. It will parse the whole line and store existing
arguments/values in hash opt_args. Something like
_arguments \
"--arg1:arg1 description:(a b c)"\
"--arg2:arg2 decsription:_foocmd_arg2"
function _foocmd_arg2 () {
if [[ ${+opt_args[--foo2]} ]]; then
local arg1=$opt_args[--arg1]
... do something with arg1
fi
}
if empty value is the same no value at all you may just skip check for key
existence.
