Dynamically update the URDF or XACRO file

When the RVIZ environment is open, I can dynamically update the config settings with the "rqt_reconfigure" package and see it instantly in the RVIZ environment. Is there a package that I can dynamically update for URDF or XACRO models in this way?

Quick comment: no, that's not supported in ROS 1. There is some support for it in ROS 2 (as the robot_description has changed to a topic, instead of a parameter), but it's not ubiquitous.
