Looking at the feature parity between SXA and Headless SXA you'll quickly find no native support for custom content replacement tokens in Headless SXA. This talk is interesting for people looking to migrate towards XMC, but wanting to keep the ability to use $(contentReplacementTokens) in a Next.js frontend and understand the architecture behind it.

If you want to overcome the challenge of modifying which files get registered to the componentBuilder try the approach outlined in this blogpost
