Template with Multiple Data Sources - Single Folder Directory - Changing Datasources

I have a template which uses multiple data sources located in the same main folder with the following structure/names:

Main Folder { Source A, Source B, Source C, Source D }

Below are two different datasets with the same naming convention / folder structure. If I wanted to switch from Dataset 1 to Dataset 2, I would have to update the 4 data source paths manually. Is it possible to only have to specify the path of the main folder and have PowerBI Update the datasources from within that folder? 

Dataset 1: Main Folder { Source A, Source B, Source C, Source D }
Dataset 2: Main Folder { Source A, Source B, Source C, Source D }

You cannot dynamially create data sources.  Your approach would only work if you would combine Sources A,B,C and D into one resulting query/table
