A clear and concise description of the problem. E.g. I'm always frustrated when [...]
I want to use the method setStories provided by const storybookApi = useStorybookApi(); from "@storybook/api" to control what stories show up in the sidebar of my storybook.
However, the input of setStories is of type StoriesRaw as seen in the implementation below:

setStories: async (input, error) => {
      // Now create storiesHash by reordering the above by group
      const hash = transformStoriesRawToStoriesHash(input, {
        provider,
      });

      await store.setState({
        storiesHash: hash,
        storiesConfigured: true,
        storiesFailed: error,
      });
    }

This results in an error when my input is of type StoriesHash and the function attempts to convert it to StoriesHash.

From the api, i don't see any method that allows me to retrieve stories in the type of StoriesRaw and this renders me helpless in calling the above method.

Reference: https://github.com/storybookjs/storybook/blob/main/lib/api/src/modules/stories.ts#:~:text=%7D%2C-,setStories%3A,-async%20(input%2C%20error

Describe the solution you'd like
What would you like to see added to Storybook to solve problem?

I would like to see another function being created for setStories in which in the input is of type StoriesHash instead of StoriesRaw and the implementation skips this method call transformStoriesRawToStoriesHash.

setStories: async (input, error) => {
  
      await store.setState({
        storiesHash: hash,
        storiesConfigured: true,
        storiesFailed: error,
      });
    }
