Output to Photoshop without saving to disk?

I am an X-E1 owner and new to C1. My planned workflow is to use C1 for RAW processing of the RAF files (which is MUCH better than ACR) and then output to Photoshop for finishing touches. I have created a process which opens the file in PS but it also saves it to disk which I would prefer not to do until after the PS step. Is there a way to process the file in C1 without specifying an Output Location?

Thanks!! And thanks to PhaseOne for a great piece on engineering!

  No. Capture One always saves the output as a file to disk first.

  Also, there is not system that actually transfers files without persisting them to disk. Usually though, the user doesn't see that because it is in a hidden, temporary directory/file.

  Thanks! I was looking for the sort of integration I have in opening Lightroom files directly in Photoshop and saving only the Photoshop product as a TIFF. I can certainly live with generating an intermediate TIFF in order to benefit from the C1 RAW conversion.
