Is there a way to update a 'defaul' or manually entered design attribute value?

For example,

component.cmp

 <aura:component implements="forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes" access="global" >
 <aura:attribute name="someString" type="string" default="myString"/>

 <lightning:input aura:id="inputString" name="someString" label="change someString Attribute" value="!v.someString"/>

 <lightning:button variant="brand" label="update someString attribute" onclick="! c.handleClick "/>

 <div>value should be:</div>
 <div>!v.someString</div>

</aura:component>

controller.js

(
 handleClick : function(component, event, helper) 
 const newValue = component.find('inputString').get("v.value");
 component.set('v.someString', newValue);
 
)

design file

<design:component>
 <design:attribute name="someString" description="want to update"/>
</design:component>

Why all the hassle?

I implemented a set of templates a user can select from from a
lightning component, however, since all the logic is client side, the
state resets itself as soon as I refresh the page (to be expected), I
was wondering if, without apex, there was a way of changing the set
designed attribute value.

You can dynamically change the options available in a design attribute -- at least picklist attributes -- by extending the VisualEditor.DynamicPickList class, but there isn't a way to change a value that was entered in Lightning App Builder. (You can manipulate the value once the component loads, but that won't change the value you'll see in the App Builder.)

  that has been my experience so far - not sure if there is/was a way of achieving this, guess im going to have to add some apex or server side controller to manage whatis displayed then.
