Hi Puneeth,
this indeed would be useful, and I just filed an enhancement request [1] that
could leverage such a feature and go one step further by running a
specific notebook in
place (ipython can already do that with .py files, so no reason to not be able
to do it with .ipynb files)

This was prompted by a feature request Stefan Krastanov filed [2]
against nbconvert

1. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/1675
2. https://github.com/ipython/nbconvert/issues/13

best,
