@JohnFromGWN It might not be the exact way you want, but I found a way around to that problem.
Move your DLC folder from root location to inside dlcpacks.
Create another DLC folder at your root location.
Hyperlink or shortcut that folder to the one inside dlcpacks.
Although you still need to edit dlclist.xml to read dlcs from dlcpacks, you can still have easy access to your DLC folder.
A more convenient way you can use is, don't bother with hyperlink and right click on the DLC folder inside dlcpack and pin it to quick access. Then you can directly access it from taskbar
