Hi,  
In my project, the websocket server url is changing over the time so I need to reconfigure the websocket node every time from the node-red editor. I'm wondering if there is a way to set the websocket node URL from a message, something like msg.url or may be to assign the WS node internal url to a flow or global variable?  
Any tip will be appreciated
