App Connect Designer: Option to configure Kafka topic for deployments

Currently it is not possible to 'overwrite' the Kafka topic for Designer flows.
However this is typically required as there are different topics - depending on the stage (e.g. dev, test, prod). 

At the moment the customer needs to actually 'copy' and 'package' a seperate flow for each environment.
This is quite uncomfortable.

    Example "how the topic" is currently defined in a Designer yaml file:

    integration:
     type: trigger-action
     trigger-interfaces:
       trigger-interface-1:
         type: event-trigger
         connector-type: kafka
         triggers:
           CREATED:
             assembly:
               $ref: '#/integration/assemblies/assembly-1'
             input-context:
               data: message
             options:
               Topic: myLovelyTopic
               parentFilter:
                 Topic: myLovelyTopic
               subscription:
                 messageOffset: Latest
               connectorServiceOptions:

    The property itself is NOT exposed within the broker.xml file.
