How to flash without compiling?

I'm using mbed CLI to program my microcontrollers. To compile and flash the board in one go, I use the following command:

> mbed compile -t GCC_ARM -m NUCLEO_F746ZG --flash

For some reasons - it would take us too far explaining them right here - I would like to split up the two actions. First I'd like to compile the code:

> mbed compile -t GCC_ARM -m NUCLEO_F746ZG

Next, I'd like to flash it to the chip:

> mbed flash

Sadly, that last command doesn't exist. How can I tell mbed CLI to flash the binary to the chip, without running a compilation?

PS: I know there are other ways of flashing the code to the chip, for example using OpenOCD or pyOCD, but I'm not interested in these methods right now.
