Research direction
Start by tracing how the dashboard header is initialized and how the footer refresh from issue 438 works. Compare the proposed command and method approaches, then define one refresh entry point and verify that an autocommand or async update can change the header without recreating the dashboard.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be great to have an option to update the header based on some autocommand or async update.
Describe the solution you'd like
A command to force the refresh of the header
Describe alternatives you've considered
maybe a method that accepts a string as argument for the new header or the same setup options passed to the initialization to refresh the dashboard.
Additional context
I only found this related feature request https://github.com/nvimdev/dashboard-nvim/issues/438 but from what I saw it only added the option to refresh the footer.
