I think it should work like setting header args on src-blocks, where there is a hierarchy that the most local setting always overrides the less local setting, described at https://orgmode.org/manual/Using-Header-Arguments.html.
This gives you the opportunity for system wide args, e.g. a global set of bib files via a variable setting, file-level options via keyword settings header-level options via property settings src-block level options For bibliographies, it is only necessary to go to file-level I think.
