The post-processor "ChangeAtZ" can make changes to several settings but the Z-hop isn't one of them. Likewise as you have found out, no travel settings are settable using a modifier.
I played with a post-processor for changing the Z-hop height between certain layers but I haven't looked at it in a couple of years.
Actually, the reason I'm posting here is that when Cura paints a model with polka-dots it indicates that the model has errors. There are repair utility apps and on-line repair services for model files. For that model it doesn't appear to make a difference in the slicing, but getting in the habit of checking and repairing models can save time and confusion down the road.

Hey @dnordenberg,
Welcome to the Ultimaker Community 🎉
Adding settings is also outside of my field of expertise, don't worry 😉
Have you considered working with Mesh Modifiers?
You can use them to only affect settings for part of a print.

Not all settings can be altered like that but Print Speed is one of them:
You can read more about them here
Is there a specific model you need help with?
Do you have a project file for us? It contains the printer and settings we need for troubleshooting.
To save a project file go to File -> Save project.

Hi!
I have not tried the mesh modifiers, thanks for the hint 🙂 However a quick look at it make me think that for example z hop does not seem to be one of the supported settings you can change with it 😞 I would like a minimal z hop for easy to print areas and have some trouble with curling upwards on some overhangs/bridges that the nozzle tends to hit and knocks the model off the plate 😞 So I really want a bigger z hop here to stop it from doing that.
Project attached if you want to try to understand my problem. I also want this to print without support since I need a few a these and post processing of the models takes time 😞
