In a nutshell
ls -l | awk '{print $9}' | xargs -I '{}' echo "File: {}"
Anywhere you use $, it will be replaced by the value piped to xargs.
Example
An example command to update latest versions of NPM packages that have storybook in their name:
npm outdated | grep storybook | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -I '{}' npm i "{}@latest"
