Claim 13:
14. A system, comprising:
a processor configured to initiate operations including:
opening, within a development environment generated by the system, a top-level block design specifying a circuit design;
inserting, within the top-level block design within the development environment, a block design container;
wherein the block design container includes a list of a plurality of linked variants, wherein each linked variant corresponds to a different block design specifying a different selectable and alternative subsystem for implementation within the top-level block design in place of the block design container for performing a synthesis flow;
receiving a user input selecting a linked variant from the list of the plurality of linked variants as a selected linked variant; and
generating, by performing the synthesis flow using the selected linked variant to implement the block design container, a synthesized version of the circuit design.
