You can create connection config dynamically with ConnectionManager::create($name, $config) call. $name is name of your new config (used in $this->useDbConfig) and $config is array of same structure as in DATABASE_CONFIG class.
First you create new connection config, then in target model you must set $useDbConfig to new config name and $useTable to target table (or leave as it is if tables names do not change) and switch model to new connection by $this->setSource($this->useTable) call. Be sure to create config with new name - not any you already defined in DATABASE_CONFIG or dynamically before.
