Replace walls?

I was wondering if it would be at all possible to make walls act like vents/cooler/etc in the sense that you can replace a wall type with a different type without having to  mark it to be deconstructed and then wait for your pawns to deconstruct it before being able to place the blueprints for another wall.

Im sure i over-complicated my explanation, so, an example:

I have a building which walls are made of wood and I want to replace them with granite walls. Would be great if you can just place the blueprint of the granite wall over the wood wall and let your pawns deconstruct/build automatically just like they do when you place a cooler.

Its a QOL change, i think it would be great to have this, if its even possible.

The problem are, you need to start the search from the release subforum to get a proper result.
When you just did a search for "replace wall" at the release, you might found
JTReplaceWalls
Replace wall type and doors on the fly. No need to deconstruct and then build another. Features smart building where it won't try to replace walls that are already that type. You can replace mineable things with walls and doors; it will set the mineable to be mined and your constructors will prioritise mining anything in the way of blueprints, then construct. Comes with source.
Mod makers can look into the Vaccine class comments to see how to make new walls/doors/conduits replaceable without this mod updating to support them.

Only that Steam version is A17, it is ported by somebody else not the original author, it works perfectly fine.
