utilize ident_current in JSON insert - sql

Question

Is it possible to merge / mix / join the SQL command IDENT_CURRENT('table_name') with a OPENJSON insert statement?
For example a table dbo.properties contains:
id as int (primary key, auto increment)
objectId as int
property as varchar(50)
value as varchar (50)
I fill the property and value based on a JSON and are in need to use IDENT_CURRENT('objects') to fill the objectId column. Currently my statement looks like:
DECLARE #properties nvarchar(max) = N'[{"property": "A", "value": "1"},
{"property": "B", "value": "2"},
{"property": "C", "value": "3"}]';
INSERT INTO dbo.property
SELECT *
FROM OPENJSON(#properties)
WITH ( property varchar(50) '$.property',
value varchar(50) '$.value');
And want to change the statement to something like:
DECLARE #properties nvarchar(max) = N'[{"property": "A", "value": "1"},
{"property": "B", "value": "2"},
{"property": "C", "value": "3"}]';
INSERT INTO dbo.property (objectId)
VALUES (IDENT_CURRENT('nodes'))
SELECT *
FROM OPENJSON(#properties)
WITH ( property varchar(50) '$.property',
value varchar(50) '$.value');

Cannot say I'd necessarily recommend your approach. Generally I'd recommend inserting into both tables together and using SCOPE_IDENTITY() instead. With your approach, if another process inserts a row at the same time, it could cause data issues since your script might grab the wrong identity value
DECLARE #id INT;
BEGIN TRAN
/*
INSERT INTO nodes...
Put your code here that inserts into the nodes table */
SELECT #id = SCOPE_IDENTITY() /*Returns last IDENTITY inserted into nodes. RECOMMEND THIS APPROACH*/
--SELECT #id =IDENT_CURRENT('nodes') /*Using your requested function*/
INSERT INTO property(objectid,property,[value])
SELECT #id,property,[value]
FROM OPENJSON(#properties)
WITH ( property varchar(50) '$.property',
value varchar(50) '$.value');
COMMIT TRAN
