Can I make an IK chain animation work for different chains? 2D

I have a 2D sprite character and their arm is animated with an IK chain. I want to make the arm interchangeable (think a robot where you can swap the arm for a stronger arm.) The different arms will have the same number of bones and roughly the same length and orientation, so is there a way to reuse my attack animation for every arm? I know you can rig 3D models to follow a preset animation, so would that be possible in 2D as well?

This question is months old by now, so you've probably solved it already, but why not just swap out the sprites on the arm?
