Is there any way to dynamically override imported file's value?

General Question

Let's say I have these two files:

workspace.k

import applications.app

schema Service:
    name: str

schema Workspace:
    apps: [app.App]

workspace = Workspace {
    apps: [
        app.starwars
        app.godfather
    ]
}

app.k

schema App:
    name: str

starwars = App {name: "starwars"}

godfather = App {name: "godfather"}

Now, I'm wondering if there is any way to change app.k's starwars .name to xyz by only reading workspace.k file (knowing example below won't work.).

E.g.,

kcl workspace.k -O app.starwars.name="'xyz'" -d

Any elaboration would be appreciated.

At present, only modifying files in the main package is supported at the CLI level, and any KCL file can be modified through the OverrideFile API like https://www.kcl-lang.io/docs/user_docs/guides/automation#3-use-kcl-api-for-automation or https://www.kcl-lang.io/docs/reference/xlang-api/overview

Understood, appreciate the clarifications. Will look into API stuff more & closing the issue 🙏
