Placing external TOX and externToxPath

One issue I have when working with external toxes from several projects (esp when using git submodules) is that placing an external TOX using shift + X is that the externaltox-parameter is loaded from the external tox. This is to be expected. The issue arises when not saving a backup of the external tox inside my project. This results in the tox not loading correctly on the next restart as the path is broken.
Imagine the following setup:

project
    -project.toe
    -modules
        -submodule1
            -submodule.toe
            -tox
                -submodule.tox

submodule1 got added as a submodule to the git repository and is its own repository (thats why there is a subdmodule.toe). I use the submodule.toe to work on the tox file.
The toxfile now has a path of tox/submodule.tox.
It keeps this path when placing it in my project.toe. I can now manualy change the path in my project.toe to modules/submodule1/tox/submodule by hand. If I do not do that, it does not load the submodule correctly and breaks the project.
This works, but some way of having touch do this on auto would be nice.

Hey @alphamoonbase

We have a bit of an internal RFE, kind of related to this, being discussed internally.

I will add your post to it.

Best,
