Trouble letting my workspace reference itself while using nmHoistingLimits: workspaces

[alexchen5]

Consider a workspace "name": "@project/workspace1".

workspace1 has

"dependancies": {
    "@project/workspace2": "portal:../workspace2",
    "@project/workspace3": "portal:../workspace3"
}

Now in workspace1, I'm able to import x from "@project/workspace2" and import y from "@project/workspace3", however I can't import z from "@project/workspace1" (it can't reference itself).

Looking inside project/packages/workspace1/node_modules, there are symlinks to @project/workspace2 and @project/workspace3 but not to @project/workspace1. project/node_modules doesn't have any symlinks to any of these workspaces, because I set nmHoistingLimits: workspaces.

How would I be able to let files inside "@project/workspace1" reference itself?
I've tried adding "@project/workspace1": "portal:../workspace1" to the dependancy list but this creates an infinite loop during yarn install.
