What is the RatOS way to set a bed mesh based on the filament used or the temp of the bed?

I regularly switch between PLA and ASA and have different meshes saved done at different bed temps. I know in RatOS I can tell it to make a new mesh or not but what if I just want to switch to a different mesh? What's the standard way? I could do it in the slicer but that seem like it would be outside of the RatOS way.

The only way to do complex bed mesh handling would be to override

 
[gcode_macro _START_PRINT_BED_MESH]
gcode:
  {% set default_profile = printer["gcode_macro RatOS"].bed_mesh_profile|default('ratos') %}
  {% if printer["gcode_macro RatOS"].calibrate_bed_mesh|lower == 'true' %}
    BED_MESH_CLEAR
    BED_MESH_CALIBRATE PROFILE={default_profile}
    BED_MESH_PROFILE LOAD={default_profile}
  {% elif printer["gcode_macro RatOS"].bed_mesh_profile is defined %}
    BED_MESH_CLEAR
    BED_MESH_PROFILE LOAD={printer["gcode_macro RatOS"].bed_mesh_profile}
  {% endif %}

 
[gcode_macro _START_PRINT_BED_MESH]
gcode:
  {% set default_profile = printer["gcode_macro RatOS"].bed_mesh_profile|default('ratos') %}
  {% if printer["gcode_macro RatOS"].calibrate_bed_mesh|lower == 'true' %}
    BED_MESH_CLEAR
    BED_MESH_CALIBRATE PROFILE={default_profile}
    BED_MESH_PROFILE LOAD={default_profile}
  {% elif printer["gcode_macro RatOS"].bed_mesh_profile is defined %}
    BED_MESH_CLEAR
    BED_MESH_PROFILE LOAD={printer["gcode_macro RatOS"].bed_mesh_profile}
  {% endif %}

I just speed up probing and bed meshing myself. Takes 30 seconds to do a bed mesh so no point in skipping and risking problems.

I installed PAM and it basically made my problem obsolete. I'm probing every time. Takes more than 30 seconds for large prints but the quality is worth the wait. Thanks @miklschmidt
