Add timed ID3 metadata to HLS using ffmpeg

For interactive video, I want to add timed ID3 metadata (different metadata at different times in the video) using FFmpeg but I couldn't find anything related to it on the internet.

I want to add custom metadata at a specific time like at 10 secs. Custom metadata will be something like:

question="When did COVID start?"
option1="2011"
option2="2019"

These metadata will be read & displayed by the frontend to the user. Please help me with this.
