I think what you want to do to use cli is specify the path as your var name
just like your example, and then in your code when you invoke the variable,
use the file lookup:
- set_fact:
your_fact: "{{ lookup('file', INV_VAR) }}"
I'm not clear if you will need to do something beyond that for it to
naturally interpret the yaml object though there's a chance you'll still
end up with a string.
