[texworks] Previewing PDF in another folder

Is there something like a special comment string to be able to preview the
result that is placed in another folder, and also use the Jump to
Source/PDF functionality?
I need this since my processing script will place all output files (.aux,
.fls, .lof, .lol, .lotr, .tdo, .toc, .out, .pdf, .synctex.gz ) in a
different folder to where the tex-files are stored.
...or, is there another/better way of achieving this?

Example of file layout:
Book/_generatePDF.bat
Book/book.tex
Book/chapter01.tex
Book/chapter02.tex
Book/chapter03.tex
Book/out/chapter01.aux
Book/out/chapter02.aux
Book/out/chapter03.aux
Book/out/book.pdf
Book/out/book.synctex.gz
...
