This can be a bit tricky, if you load everything except TYPO3 via Composer, but you can try it playing with --working-dir [1].

Alternatively you may use --prefer-source [2] and include TYPO3 via Composer, but the difference will be in fact, that Composer will use TYPO3 Git repo instead of Packagist, resulting in a cloned Git repo in your location.

Or you can play around with defining own repositories [3].

In worst case you can copy-paste composer.json and composer.lock from typo3_src to your project root and run "composer install".

So, it's time for experiments :)
