Ability to provide keypair to solana spl-token command

Question

I'm performing a call of this CLI function

spl-token balance --token--

So it requires a keypair.json file to be present at this location ~ .config/solana/id.json (for Mac)

Without this file CLI throws an error error: No such file or directory (os error 2)

Is there a way to specify a path to keypair or even better specify the whole file content (encoded or not) as a CLI param?

BTW this issue is not limited to just this command, most of spl-token cli commands I've tried has this issue.
