Option to use existing virtual environments in different locations

[jrmoserbaltimore]

#20055 was closed because someone put a path in to go to where "the venvs" are.

I have venvs in various places. Under %APPDATA% for various applications that create their own venvs (e.g. thonny), under %USERPROFILE% where I've manually created venvs, in places in various paths under Documents, and so forth. Pointing to "the folder with venvs" doesn't work because that's several folders scattered all over the place.

We need a feature that allows the use of existing virtual environments, not existing virtual environments but only those in one specific directory. It needs to be like Thonny where you just go to wherever it is and it adds it to the list of virtual environments even if they're in different folders, on different partitions...even on different devices in Thonny's case, but that's a bigger scope than I'm worried about here.
