Dynamic credential refresh

MongoDb Compass requires a full restart when environment variables or connection credentials (connection strting, username, password) are changed. This is inefficient for users working in dynamic environments where credentials change frequently. ex: Rotating secrets or Temporary access token. There should be a way to refresh those credentials either by rereading the env variables or having a button or a configuration that would be available to do that. This is moslty for AWS, I can start mongo compass from cli and it will use my env variables but there is no way for me to refresh it for mongodb.
