AFAIK, you can’t.

I wrote a utility to generate the .items and .things files based on yaml + template.

Link to forum post: Another Things and Items file Generator

The yaml file looks like this:

LivingRoom_Window1:
  template: aqara-contact
  thingid: livingroom-window1-contact
  icon: window
  groups:
    - gWindows
    - gLivingRoom
  tags:
    - Window

Hallway_Light1:
  template: tuya-rgbtwlight
  thingid: hallway_light_1
  power:
    groups:
      - gSmartLights
    metadata:
      - HardwareSwitch: Hallway_Light_Switch
  groups:
    - gHallway
  color:
  ct:

The structure of the yaml relates to the template in use so you pretty much decide what and how it should be structured.
