Is it possible to mass merge games solely based on launchbox ID? (NOT "consolidate roms")

Some of my game entries are duplicates and I want to merge them solely based on the launchbox ID, but I don't want to hunt them down individually and do a partial select and merge on every game that has duplicates, I would like an automated process.

The only option I could find to do this is to "consolidate roms" but it has a few undesirable side effects. First it needs to be run multiple times in a row to merge all duplicates, each run catches some, until it finally caught them all after multiple runs, is that a bug? But secondly and most importantly, while it does merge roms by launchbox ID, it also merges roms of different games, with unique launchbox IDs, if they share the same title or alternate title. For example, a game called "Outcast" with an alternate secondary title of "Renegade" will get merged with an entirely different game with a different launchbox ID, whose sole main title is "Renegade". Obviously, I don't want this to happen.

Is there a method to only merge games if they share the same launchbox ID? If not, could this be implemented? (maybe as a toggle in the consolidate roms option?)
