Can i do this in my hosts/inventory file? Also, can i pass a host group

[env2]
vm1 ansible_host=vm888

I want to use the same synonym host name in my playbook (vm1 or vm2 )
but
point to different virtual machine depending on what group i specify in
the
yml file. (hosts: env1)
This way i can make the code generic across groups with the same vm1 or
vm2. I have duplicate VMs for testing and development.
You can't, groups is not for separating variable it's for grouping host
together so you don't need to list them all.
A host will get all variables defined in all groups it's a member of.
So your ansible_host for vm1 in group env1 will be overwritten by
ansible_host for vm1 in group env2.
