How to edit or provide data values in Outlook Webaddin Manifest XML file in runtime

Question

Im working on developing an Outlook Webadin. In the manifest XML file of the addin I need to provide some of the elements values in run time. For example I need to read a port number from registry and then assign this port number to SourceLocation in

< SourceLocation DefaultValue="https://localhost:5005/" />

Is there a way to do it via code? or any other way in which I can provide these values in run time.

Thanks.

Currently the feature:dynamically update port number in manifest, you requested, is not a part of the product. We track Outlook add-in feature requests on our user-voice page (officespdev.uservoice.com/forums/224641-general/category/…). Please add your request there. Feature requests on user-voice are considered, when we go through our planning process.
