v1.10 brought about the new -X option (-X include customized index file), to samtools.
github.com/samtools/samtools/pull/978
Is it possible to request for tabix/bcftools/etc?
Use case would be for passing in signed s3 urls into all of the various tools.
e.g.
tabix <signed_vcf_url> -X <signed_vcf_tbi_url> chr2
bcftools view <signed_vcf_url> -X <signed_vcf_tbi_url> chr2
samtools view <signed_bam_url> -X <signed_bam_bai_url> chr2
