Edit "Pick, Group, and Rank" choices in Qualtrics using JavaScript

I am trying to dynamically populate options for my question. To change the question text, I can do something like this in the question's JavaScript:

jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .QuestionText").html(...)

How would I do something similar to this for choice descriptions? Here is what I thought would work based on names in the Workflow tab:

jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .ChoiceDescription/1").html(...)

Because there are thousands of possible questions and they have their respective choices, I would prefer to do this purely through JavaScript as I have a JSON object of all the data I need. But alternatives are welcome.

    jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .Items li[data-choiceid=1] label>span").html(...)
