Matching 2 Routes for a Modal and List

[mightym]

Hey everyone, I have a question:

I've been using this pattern for dialogs/modal via tanstack router so far:

I basically have eg a route for a list of photos on
/photos/
and in addition a
/photos/1/modal
route.

For file based routing that looks like:

• photos.tsx (has an Outlet)
• /photos/$photoID/modal.tsx (this modal then gets rendered in the Outlet of photos.tsx

But I just realized that in a case where I don't want the /photos/ route this would work:

• _/photos/index.tsx -> / the list of photos
• _/photos/$photoID/modal.tsx -> /1/modal

This wont work because now the Modal would not be rendered anymore in the Outlet in index.tsx but in __root.tsx

has someone a hint how I could solve that?
