Replacing Props & Prop Instances?

FirePro9

In my scene I have a prop I created, call it Prop1, then created a dozen instances of the prop (call them Prop1A, Prop1B, etc), and each individual instance is parented to a different bone in a figure/prop with bones.

Is there a way I can swap out/replace the original prop, Prop1, with a different prop, call it Prop2, and then of course have all the parented instances automatically replaced resulting in Prop2A, Prop2B, etc.?

Any thought as to how this can be done would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

It could probably be done via a script, but I don't think there's a pre-built method.
