How would you set an attribute of a custom control via a URL parameter on an add/edit form?

I have a custom image upload control that accepts an AspectRatio attribute. The control works as expected. I now have an XMP form that uses the control, but this form needs to set a different AspectRatio based on the ItemType url parameter. So for example if the ItemType is 'slide' the AspectRatio needs to be set to 1.77778, if it is 'UpcomingEvent' the AspectRatio needs to be set to zero, etc.
