It’s the same as Cache > Import Alembic > Import Under Current Selection
I had a quick look at this just now, and as I suspected, the inMesh is being replaced by the Alembic. What I hadn’t thought of however is that the node itself remains the same which means shader assignments and custom attributes also remain. If there’s one thing I miss about the Geometry Cache workflow, it was the ability to maintain a mesh in the scene, and simply replace the cache. With Alembic, I lost that and somehow this workflow you mentioned has gone unnoticed. I had simply accepted the loss, as the gain was greater. So thank you, that is just excellent!
