Watch and reload when specific files change

[jodyheavener]

This feels like an already-answered question, so I apologize if I've missed something obvious 😅

I've got a unique Storybook setup where, upon opening, the story performs a fetch from a server, returning compiled HTML to be rendered in the story using @storybook/html.

This works well, except for the fact that because Storybook itself is not aware of these server-rendered source files it does not hot-reload the stories when these files change.

I am wondering if there is a Storybook configuration, plugin, or NPM tool to help me watch for specific files/paths, and then force reload the active story when a change is detected. I have considered nodemon but it would need to kill and restart the entire storybook command, which is very heavy-handed.

Is something like this possible?
