Not very clear to me either, but, in the spirit of reducing the field of
possible understandings of the question: are you aware of eval? If so, can
you reframe your question around it, i.e. what is it missing for your
use-case or haw it's not a good fit? (If you are not yet aware of eval,
know that it is just as bad as read security-wise.)

Or perhaps you already have a clear idea of what you would want to do with
the data structures in your edn file, and you're actually asking about how
to register your custom literal reader with the edn reader?
