Is it possible to attach aspect to object instance using DQL?

Just getting started using aspects, and from what I understand you can configure one or more aspects on a type such that all objects that get created get the aspect. However, what about objects already existing of that type? How can I attach a new aspect to existing objects?

I've seen there are DFC methods to do this, but is it possible to do it from DQL?

Appreciate any tips.

dql> update dm_document objects append r_aspect_name='MyAspect' where .....
