How do I make a preloaded that's flexible?

I'm making a roguelike weapon switch system where the quick bar has only two slot bars. So how do I exactly change the preloaded path to another preloaded path when suppose the player pickup up another weapon which should replace this preload scene path?

I do something similar. I have an autoload named Globals that contains the paths and loads the assets.

const SINGLE_BULLET_TEXTURE: StreamTexture = preload("res://assets/weapons/capsule_32x16.png")
const DOUBLE_BULLET_TEXTURE: StreamTexture = preload("res://assets/weapons/double_capsule_80x16.png")

In other scripts, I can reference the items like this:
Globals.SINGLE_BULLET_TEXTURE
