I would like to replace the `Standard` subflow with different subflow modules (as described here: [Packaging a Subflow as a module : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/creating-nodes/subflow-modules)) for different installations of the same `flows.json`/`settings.js`. I'm stumbling over the fact, that the subflow module is linked via its unique package name. Is it somehow possible to replace the `Standard` subflow with varying subflow modules using npm/yarn?
