Override type for direct relations

I came across this documentation regarding how we can use GQL to override the type of direct relation when using a CDM feature.
Is there a similar documentation to highlight the changes needed to be made in the YAMLs when using CDF toolkit to deploy our model?
Please note that I tried dumping the working GQL, but the resulting yamls did not work when tried the other way around.

If you use the Cognite-Toolkit, and run `cdf modules init` and select any of the models all of them show an example of overwriting the source.

@Ayush Daruka What do you mean it did not work? Can you provide the error output you got. If you use the cdf dump datamodel command the yaml that is produced should be valid to deploy.

The similar term is to use the `source` when mapping to a container property in a view

@Anders Albert I mean that the override did not happen, when I deployed the generated yaml files. There was no error since the model got deployed, but it did not override the CogniteAsset to CustomCogniteAsset as shown in the example.
If you have a example yaml that works for the same example, please share.
