Is there a shortcut to reload a subtitle file? Can we make one?

Hi,
I use VLC for editing subtitles, not creating them but checking them for mistakes. I know I could use a subtitle editor for this but my VLC is nicely customised and integrated with my workspace.
Here is the issue:
Each time I edit a .ssa, a .srt or a .sub file, I save the file with a single click, but to reload that same subtitle file on VLC I need to go to File Explorer and drag-and-drop the file on to VLC. I could also do it through VLC menus but still would need to use mouse. I'd very much like to be able to do this with a key combination, or even a set of key combinations on VLC but as far as I see there is no hotkey for "Add subtitle file" or reload subtitle. Is there a workaround for this?
I'd highly appreciate any help which would save me around 150-200 drag and drops of the same file per film.
