We have a home grown source control system that has the ability to

I can use any tool for merging or viewing differences from the checked in

I added a comment there with a basic implementation suggestion that wouldn't

tools.

Does anyone think this can be done externally to JetBrains so that we won't
have to wait?

Yeah, we have that in house, and it's pretty good.

But, since we activate the review file and merge through IntelliJ, I would
love having the consistency of behavior, look, code highlighting, etc. that
using the internal tools would provide.

Currently I am using a different diff tool, may be I should switch to Beyond
Compare...

There is no legal way to do it.
