It is, it's part of the architecture definition.

Good point, I'll take a look at doing that.

Not really. The interrupt used is fixed by the hardware of the timer,
usually. If a particular platform provided several timers, and if the
HAL implementor chose to allow a choice, then indeed this value might
need to change along with the definitions of the HAL_CLOCK_*()
macros.
