I have a process to create hyper files from data sources that I currently use. Is there a way that I can upload/publish those hyper files directly to Tableau Cloud as a "Published Data Source"? Without having to use a workbook to upload/publish them?

I'm wondering if it is at all possible to skip the workbook step to publish my already created Hyper files. And I'm also wondering if I should just upload my data and let Tableau Desktop extract my data into hyper files. Any help or clarification on this would be much appreciated. Thanks!
