First thing to do is include the Dictionary manipulation plugin functions https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/cdt-manipulation you can do this from the admin console on your site. Then you'll still each a forEach loop

a!localVariables(
   local!dictionaryList: {
      {
        displayValue: "hello",
        id: 1
      },
      {
        displayValue: "world",
        id: 2
      },
      {
        displayValue: "earth",
        id: 3
      }
   },
   local!titles: {
     "titleOne",
     "titleTwo",
     "titleThree"
   },
   a!foreach(
     local!dictionaryList,
     updateDictionary(
       fv!item,
       {
         title: index(local!titles, fv!index, null)
       }
     )
   )
)

If you don't want to use the dictionary plugins (But you should) then you can also recreate the dictionary in the forEach
