You can use the light path node to replace what hdri the camera sees:

 ![lightpath%20hdri%20swap](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/4/9/8/498b45cf74885da0890eebc07c99d75b8f8632cf.jpeg)

This setup will make any background shader that’s in the second slot of the mix shader what the camera sees. This will also allow you to use a completely different image from what is seen by the camera to light the scene.
