Replace existing Thing with a new Thing

Hello!

Is there an opportunity to replace a thing with a new same of its kind thing in oh3? E.g. if a hue bulb is broken, I want to replace it with a new one (same model), and to keep all scripts, items, rules, groups etc. without manually changing everything?

I could not edit the UID within the openHAB3 site, as this seems not possible (yet).

Thanks!
