Is it possible to use Q_PopulateResponse for a reference survey which is part of another survey?

Hi community,
I have a survey A which includes another survey B in the survey flow as a reference survey.
I am distributing survey A using its own survey URL.
Is it possible to use Q_PopulateResponse for survey B from the URL of survey A?
I don't think it's possible as Q_PopulateResponse uses the QID for populating which can be common in both surveys A & B.
Is there any other alternative to populate the questions of survey B ? I cannot use default choices as the populated questions are dynamic based on the user.

The QID will never be common between a survey and reference survey. Qualtrics generates unique 8 digit question id for reference survey question. So get the qid of reference survey questions and use it in q_populate response.
