I've been asked the same by multiple people in the past years, but I
don't have a clear picture yet of how everything works. Uploading new
images is supposedly done via a mix of QMI messages and then the
QDL-based download mode. I wanted to try to implement my own tool for
Sierra devices, but got busy with other stuff and never really did
much with it.

As for playing with images already uploaded, I've done that a lot but
with a single Foxconn-branded QMI modem; didn't find any other modem
that would allow me to do that (i.e. with the DMS methods to
select/remove firmware images).
