Request: Option to store differencing image on same host device as base image

Description

I have a host with two drives, one SSD and one HD. I have a guest with two .vdi's. The guest os (/) is on the host SSD and file storage .vdi (/home) is on the larger host HD. However when snapshots are used, the differencing image is always stored in the default VM location. This makes snapshots unusable with multiple host storage locations. whatever folder structure you would like is fine, (i.e. subfolder called snapshots) I would just like to see an option to store the differencing images on the same host media.

I have read through the forums, about the closest thing I've found was a request for a custom differencing folder (ramdisk)
