Yeah like during the infill portion of each layer, swap the color. But I can only see that work if each layer is a separate color.

If you have different parts of the same layer, you could jump back and forth to the infill to purge. But you'd need to make sure you have enough inside volume compared to the outside surface area.

Mosaic, the Palette company, have that as a feature in their slicer and I've heard Prusa Slicer was working on it a while back.

Prusa Slicer does have a "Purge to Infill" option that removes a lot of this waste. Unfortunately, Bambu printers are infamous for their poop problems..
