I think most people regard meaningfulness as a quale. There are a lot of different theories about how to achieve it, but there are about other qualia like happiness , wellbeing, flourishing, etc. Humans are wired up so that the actual terminal goals are qualia that you only recognise when you’re in the state, plus a set of subsidiary goals, like jobs and relationships, which are supposed to get you the qualia, but don’t, necessarily.
