Does anyone know if it is possible to merge to lead\_id from the command line ?  
Or if there is a creative way to do this even using scripting

I guess [GitHub - mtcextendee/mautic-custom-deduplicate-bundle: Custom deduplicate for Mautic](https://github.com/mtcextendee/mautic-custom-deduplicate-bundle) will help (if it works with the latest Mautic):

`php bin/console mautic:contacts:deduplicate:custom`
