In the current implementation this is not feasible. So, the only way is
to read the model repeatedly for different data.

Should say that changing data involves regenerating all dependent model
components, that in most cases takes much more time than the parsing of
the model section. Therefore, even if this feature would be implemented,
it would not allow significantly reducing the total translation time.
