Allow defaults to be specified, or env not to be set, if vault or slot not found with op run

I'm using op run combined with a .env file to load our development configuration, but we have quite a bit of optional configuration. Some devs may need part of the config, other devs might need other...

Thanks for the comment, but not sure this helps, unless I'm misunderstanding something.

If I have a line in my .env file like this:
DB_USERNAME="op://${OP_VAULT:-dev}/db/username"
how would I make it so the DB_USERNAME was set to "jonb1" (for instance) if the vault doesn't exist?

In this case I get [ERROR] 2023/01/02 19:32:10 could not resolve item UUID for item db

Something like this:
DB_USER_NAME="${op://dev/db/username:-jonb1}"
gives expected character ':' and op://dev/db/username isn't really a VAR_NAME anyway.

It's not that I want a default value for an variable, but a default value if the resolution of the vault/slot/attribute doesn't work for some reason.
