indeed, for instance there is an arabic predefined (not sure if it's ok) 
  which you can extend if needed:

\definefontfeature[myarabic][arabic][rlig=yes]

in typescripts and font definitions you can just use 'myarabic'

\definedfont[arabtype*myarabic]

\definetypeface.........[features=arabic]

etc etc
