The idea would be that you add = this directory as a project-local library (much as you currently do).

How would such support look like?

Perhaps a = way to designate the project-local library directory, along with a = symbol browser option =E2=80=9Ccopy to project library=E2=80=9D that = also allows you optionally rename the symbol.
