AEM Touch UI RTE common rtePlugins configuration

in classic ui, you can use xtype:cqinclude to include rtePlugins from a different path basically creating one place for standard RTE plugins, How can I do the same in Touch UI?

I have tried using the granite UI include widget, but that does not help as it was not meant for including nodes, but granite widgets/components

Solution

I found the solution by debugging RTE, I noticed that RTE sends a request to get the rtePlugins (as JSON) from JCR (using the JSON servlet). with that understanding, I was able to use sling:superResourceType on the rtePlugins node to refer to another rtePlugins node on the JCR. since the JSON servlet will actually respect the superType relationship.

eg. if I define rtePlugins node under apps/project/customeRtePlugins/rtePlugins, then in my actual RTE in my touch dialog, I can do the following:

<rte
    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
    sling:resourceType="cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/richtext"                                                                
    name="./rte"
    useFixedInlineToolbar="{Boolean}true">

    <rtePlugins 
         jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
         sling:resourceSuperType="apps/project/customeRtePlugins/rtePlugins"/>

</rte>
