Msbuild example for Clarion

Has anyone created a template for the MS Build system, ie parsing and reading it in into a template which can be used to make settings changes before exporting it back? I cant find anything suggesting a template exists searching this forum and relevant posts eg
Get Compiler Version & Build Config for use in a PostCompile Build action - code / Snippets - ClarionHub

Too much hand code for my liking, I’d rather modify it from within a template that guides the decision making process.

And is this factually correct, you cant alter the project settings when using the appgen in C6 or early?

TIA
