How to dynamically mutate “args” in Storybook v6 from the component’s action?

I had the same exact issue, and kept looking for days, till I stumbled upon this github post:
https://github.com/storybookjs/storybook/issues/12006

Currently in my React (am sure vue approach will be similar), I do following:

import React from 'react';
import CheckboxGroupElement from '../CheckboxGroup';
import { STORYBOOK_CATEGORIES } from 'elements/storybook.categories';
import { useArgs } from '@storybook/preview-api';

export default {
  component: CheckboxGroupElement,
  title: 'Components/CheckboxGroup',
  argTypes: {
    onChange: {
      control: 'func',
      table: {
        category: STORYBOOK_CATEGORIES.EVENTS,
      },
    },
  },
  parameters: { actions: { argTypesRegex: '^on.*' } },
};

const Template = (args) => {
  const [_, updateArgs] = useArgs();

  const handle = (e, f) => {
// inside this function I am updating arguments, but you can call it anywhere according to your demand, the key solution here is using `useArgs()`
// As you see I am updating list of options with new state here
    console.log(e, f);
    updateArgs({ ...args, options: e });
  };
  return <CheckboxGroupElement {...args} onChange={handle} />;
};

export const CheckboxGroup = Template.bind({});
CheckboxGroup.storyName="CheckboxGroup";
CheckboxGroup.args = {
//Here you define default args for your story (initial ones)
  controller: { label: 'Group controller' },
  options: [
    { label: 'option 1', checked: true },
    { label: 'option 2', checked: false },
    { label: 'option 3', checked: false },
  ],
  mode: 'nested',
};
