Can I batch edit aliases to point to a new external drive?

I have a lot of aliases on my Mac that point to files on an external drive called, let’s say, Drive1. Those files are now all on an external drive called Drive2, which has replaced Drive 1. Is there a way to batch process the aliases on my Mac—to find them all and, in those that point to Drive 1, change “Drive1" to “Drive2” in the addresses they point to?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.2
