But that is probably the fastest path to what you want. I am not aware of any tool that does what you want. Amazon may have an internal use tool, but that probably automatically goes to wikipedia and goodreads.

I am working on scripts that repair erroneous x-ray files. They will be such that they enventually will be able to create an x-ray files from scratch, but they are in a very early and incomplete state.
You can override or replace/supplant Wikipedia entries, etc, from the KDP tool. The question I'd have would be whether or not XRay content would work, if the book doesn't go through Amazon's PW (Publishing Workflow), which is what happens after you push the "save and publish" button. My understanding is that this is processed along with ET, which also happens in the PW.

We haven't been asked to do much with this, so I don't know the answer, but can you add Xray content, and then download the Preview MOBI, and have it work? I suspect that the answer to that is no, and if it is, I don't know of the way that that can be enabled for non-Amazon MOBIs. Were I Amazon, I'd have zero interest in making this available outside of my retail environment. (Just like ET doesn't work unless/until published by Amazon.)
