Maybe you need a special feature, go into Macros_recipes and Code_snippets, Topological_data_scripting.

You can basically use the same method by using a bash script or shortcut icon that forces setting files to be on the mass storage device. ;)

Use the AppImage releases as it basically contains the needed libs and will run on many Linux distros. ;)

EDIT : AppImage
