GCS and ROS node communication

Is there any way to send the way-points from the GCS directly to a ROS node? I need to modify the way-points before sending them to the autopilot. I know that I can send them first to the autopilot and then get the way-points from the autopilot by a ROS node, But the thing that is important for me is that I need to directly send the way-points to my ROS node. Any hint or any help will be appreciated :-)

I'm not into drones. What is "the GCS" and which packages are you using (if any)?

GCS is the ground control station, that here I am using QGroundControl. Now, I can communicate from my ROS node with the autopilot using the MAVROS package. I can also communicate with the autopilot from the GCS to send the way-points by MAVLink protocol.

Now, I need to directly send the waypoints from the GCS to my node using the MAVROS. Do you think it is feasible ? If yes, How can I do that? Thank you in advance for your answer.
