Context-specific default constant values

Question

I'd like to define an API endpoint URL through a TypoScript constant, so that it can be overridden by editors.

At the same time I want to provide different default constant values depending on the TYPO3 Application Context (Development, Staging, Production).

How can I do this? Is it possible to use TypoScript conditions in constants files?

TypoScript:

plugin.tx_extension.url = TEXT
plugin.tx_extension.url.value = {$plugin.tx_extension.url}

[applicationContext == "Development/Local"]
    plugin.tx_extension.url.ifEmpty = bar
[end]

PHP: use ContentObjectRenderer to calculate the value:

$config = $this->getFrontendController()->tmpl->setup['plugin.']['tx_extension.'] ?? [];
$url = $this->getContentObjectRenderer()->cObjGetSingle(
    $config['url'],
    $config['url.']
);
