Mixed use of delay pedal effects loop

This may have come up before but I am having difficulty in trying to find the correct search words for the query I have, so here goes.

Does anyone know of a way whereby one can connect a pedal (e.g. modulation) into the effects loop of a delay pedal (e.g. Deluxe Memory Boy) and be able to use it both within that loop in addition to setting it up in such a way that is can be used individually too, i.e. as if it is simply plugged as standard into an effects chain?

I really hope that all makes sense.

Any help or links to previous threads on this matter would be much appreciated.

the only way i can think of wiring that up would be to use a few aby boxes,

if you thook a line from the out of the pedal in the chain into the aby, a outlet going an aby then to the mod pedal then out of the mod into another aby.
then the a back to the next pedal in the chain.
then the b into the effects loop on the delay ( ie you can pick where the mod goes chain or loop)
then you would need to take the first aby's b back to the next pedal in the chain, where you now have 2 cables flip the another aby so you you have a and b as inputs and y as your out into the pedal.
then out of your loop on the delay you do a similar to the aby we took the the a outlet of the first aby into, use y as the outlet and a and b as the inputs.

ive attached a pic there maybe an easier way but to switch it from loop to in the chain takes 4 aby's so probs easier to buy a second modulation to put in the loop

Cheers for this. I had no idea it would be quite that mind boggling. This solution may be a bridge to far.

yeh and im not even sure that with leads plugged in the delays loop it would work if they werent connected, but by the time you factor even cheap aby's buying a second pedal is probs cheaper.

Agreed. Already started the search. Thanks again.
