Default Change All Links

When I'm working on updates to the front-end file, I'd like to change the
links of the tables to tables of the same structures and names, but residing
in a "TestData" folder, a subfolder of the folder where the actual data
resides. This way I can perform queries, make edits, etc. without changing
the real data.

Can anyone tell me how I can do this through code, rather than manually
through the Linked Table Manager?

Thank you.
