In EnergyPlus, one workaround would involve plotting the hourly conditions (temperature and humidity) from the node you have highlighted to create custom hourly temperature/humidity schedules.

You could then set the 'Inlet Air Configuration' field of the heat pump to 'Schedule' and select the appropriate schedules in the fields 'Inlet Air Temperature Schedule Name' and 'Inlet Air Humidity Schedule Name'. This will allow you to define custom, hourly conditions for the heat pump evaporator coil.

The hourly schedules could be processed to include a mixture of outdoor air and exhaust from the specified air node as needed.
