You need to use a synonym file which you can update without having to close/open the index.

The downside is that the synonym file needs to be stored on each node of your cluster and users might not have access to it.

Also after refreshing a file, you need to call POST /<target>/_reload_search_analyzers in order to pick up changes to synonym files.

There's also a long-standing issue seeking to provide an API for improved synonym management, but it's still in the works.
