There isn't a way to do this, and to be honest with the discussions we've had recently about developer workflow, I'm not sure we want to encourage doing development within the workdir for a recipe because it's managed by the build system, and if you're not careful (e.g. with -c clean, rm_work or just changing SRC_URI) the sources can vanish taking your changes with it. Our alternative at the moment is to use externalsrc [1]. This is a little more work though and at the OEDAM meeting [2] there was some discussion about how we could make this easier in future.
