Yes and no
- CE Projects and DUB projects are always run outside (by 
deafault)
- runnable modules can be run outside using: "Compile file and 
run outside".

It's because runnable modules are different from projects. They 
are usually compiled so fast that you can recompile before each 
execution but you can open a GH issue and ask for a new action 
"run compiled file outside" (to split the action in two phases)

When they are run inside, you can use the "Input process" widget 
to pass some input to the process that's hosted (see the 
"Windows" menu).

To register a DUB package, you can either fetch (DUB icon) or 
clone the repo, open the DUB JSON project, compile the right 
config, then in the libman there's a icon with a gray chain over 
a book. Click this icon and the library is registered.

Note that DUB projects are displayed in another widget that the 
one displayed by default at the right (see "DUB project editor") 
in the "Windows" menu.
