Well, yes. I suggested that all of what you want can be incorporated in the box:

To me, it seems that we have exactly the same idea here: a toggle switch.
Here is, once again running for the ASCII-art Award of the Week, what I
mean in the above:
cable conn. on Switchbox. new, additional internals
from LC.
| switch exp. corner:
== ---| =|
| |-- --| o-------------o------ GND
--- | | | |-(4)--//--o===o---//--
| | | | : diode (1N4148)
| | | | : o-------------o---|>|---
| | > | |-(7)--//--o===o---//-- |
| | | | : |
| | | | : o-------------o---------
--- | | | |-(10)-//--o===o---//--
| |-- --|
== ---| =|
|
note 1: '//' = cut in existing wiring, inserting the switch
so that //-- = back to usual wiring in switchbox
note 2: toggle switch = '3 pole, single throw'
have fun,
