That’s not trivial, period. Any solution will have to be pretty
complex if it’s supposed to handle this – especially if you want
the user to be able to override only some defaults, but not
others. I’m not sure that any form of command line will be
anything other than craptacular for a job like this.
This would all be much easier if we had actual examples to
discuss.

That’s never going to happen for the users. There are way too
many other programs already out there. Most of them work
differently from yours.
