Copy custom properties to file properties

Macro
1

Hi everyone
on a part
I would like to copy a custom property to a property of the file (summary tab) via a macro
this would allow me to be able to see this property in Windows
I think this is possible, because in my last research to export my properties to Excel, I seem to have seen a topic dealing with this, but no way to find it
(I found this Title Property (ISwDMDocument) – 2023 – SOLIDWORKS API Help but I can't seem to use it)
THANK YOU

And to read a customproperties:

By combining these 2 codes you should be able to find what you are looking for.
