I know it'is possible (using the GDrive API) to access & modify standalone GAS-Project, but when dealing with embedded instead of standalone, then: Is there another way than the manual copy&paste approach?

You can try using CLASP.

@ DimuDesignsI've got two questions about that.
Q.2: What kind of strain would that put on a local system, if that system is a Chromebook?
I'm on a Chromebook
- It's about 4½ years old. It was not a "bottom of the barrel, dirt cheap" one, when I bought it, but I don't know how it measures up to new ones found on the market of today.
- It hasn't got the "Linux development environment"-option switched on, but that should be fairly easy to change.
- Subsequently installing CLASP, should (I guess/hope) be doable too.
So: My two concerns, ref. above to questions, are thus:
1. Can CLASP actually deliver on working w. embedded GAS-Projects, not just standalone GAS-Projects.
2. What kind of system resource strain will a Chromebook be subjected to.
Q.1: Have you tried working w. GSheet embedded GAS-Projects using CLASP?
I'm asking because I recall having read that it's not possible to use external editors for embedded GAS-Projects, only works for standalone GAS-Projects. - Though! While I do remember having read that somewhere in Google's own official documentation or blog, then I can't remember exactly where or when. And since things tend to evolve (even for slowmo Google), then ... yeah, maybe it's possible today, while it wasn't back when.

Can't help you with the second question (never owned or used a Chromebook).
But the Stackoverflow post linked below should help answer the first:

OK, thanks!
By the way: It must be a fairly new option, because today (21.Dec.2024) on https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/import-export
- It says: "Only standalone scripts can be imported or exported. Container-bound scripts cannot be accessed through the Google Drive API."
