Is it possible to share a submodule locally?

Post Body

The projects I work on use the same submodules as common libraries, so my local folders look like this:

├───Project1
│   ├───Library ABC (Submodule)
│   ├───Library XYZ (Submodule)
├───Project2
│   ├───Library ABC (Submodule)
│   ├───Library XYZ (Submodule)
├───Project3
│   ├───Library ABC (Submodule)
│   ├───Library XYZ (Submodule)
├───Library ABC
├───Library XYZ

Since I also maintain those libraries, I have those repos checked out locally, and I end up with multiple copies of the same folders.

Is there a way to configure the projects to use the copy of the repo that's in the main directory, rather than the subdirectory it creates? Preferably without impacting the repo itself, since I don't want to force the change onto the other developers.
