The TypedFilterAttribute has got a Argument property (of type object[]) where you can pass arguments to the constructor of the implementation. So applied to your example you can use this code:

public class MyAttribute : TypeFilterAttribute
{        
    public MyAttribute(params string[] ids) : base(typeof(MyAttributeImpl))
    {
        Arguments = new object[] { ids };
    }

    private class MyAttributeImpl : IActionFilter
    {
        private readonly string[] _ids;
        private readonly ILogger _logger;

        public MyAttributeImpl(ILoggerFactory loggerFactory, string[] ids)
        {
            _ids = ids;
            _logger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger<MyAttribute>();
        }

        public void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext context)
        {
            // NOW YOU CAN ACCESS _ids
            foreach (var id in _ids)
            {
            }
        }

        public void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext context)
        {
        }
    }
}
