Blend pot wiring question? Toggle

Ok so I was wondering if someone could help my guitar tech and I with something. Basically what we are trying to accomplish is to have the option to be able to use a 3 way toggle for both pickups or a blender pot. We want to put in a switch that can let you choose to use the 3way OR the blender knob. So in other words when the switch is UP the 3way toggle works normally to switch between pickups. When the switch is DOWN the 3way is bypassed and now you use the blend pot to switch from pup 2 pup. Is this possible to do? What kind of switch would we use? Anyone have the schematics? I should note i have 1 master volume 1 tone and mini toggles for series/parallel and coil split. As well as OOP. Thanks. Please Help!

The problem is that you'll need an extra 2-way mini-toggle that sends the pickups to either the blend pot or the 3-way. This will have to come after the other mini-toggles that handle the split/series/parallel and phase stuff.
Basically, send the hot wires that would normally go from those to the 3-way out to the 2-way mini. From there, you send each wire to the blend pot and 3-way.

The 2-way mini will have to be DPDT, and the hot wires will connect in the center tabs - neck to one and bridge to the other, but not touching each other.
Next, the "up" tabs of the switch would go to the 3-way and the "down" tabs to the blender.

However, both the blender and the 3-way will go to the jack, which may be a problem.

I wouldn't do what makes no sense, that's common sense.
