More than 4 filaments using open source boxturtle or similar

Hi All, so thinking about getting a U1, since 4 toolheads would make my life a lot easier and less wasteful than my current workflow.

However, I just need one more filament for a total of 5 and was wondering since the printer uses klipper how easy would it be to add in somthing like the boxturtle or simiar on one of the tools?

Anyone given this a go or have a good idea?
