PrusaSlicer 2.60 - Can supports be set to external only?

I am using 2.60, Alpha3. 

Sometimes the organic supports are being placed from the inside of a closed body, so it is impossible to remove afterwards.

Is there a way to set "grow only from the outside"?

Or to guide the slicer take specific supports out, after the slicing stage, and re-slice?

I know about the ability how to guide the slicer in general where to slice and where to block.

However, I still want to use the slicer global support option, and only afterwards to do fine tuning.

I don't think there's any automatic way.  Maybe if you had support from build plate only enabled (and if that option is currently working with the alpha). That should stop it placing supports on top of the model which by definition would include any interior voids.

Manually you would have to use a blocker on the interior areas using the clipping view to see the inside and paint those areas.

Would be much easier to assess if you had attached an example project file we could examine.
