Is it possible to have two way transitions?

Question

I want to be able to return to the state transitioned from without having to go through the entire workflow again to get to that step but also only have this option show up under this specific transition. Something along the lines of

A-->B-->C-->D-->E
^           |  
|-----------|

Then after transitioning from D to A getting this
A-->D-->E

It needs to also be able to distinguish which of the two way transitions it's working with since there are three seperate states that will function this way when sent back to state A.

i'd add a text. custom field nextstate that contains the next Reachable state from A and thus should have the default value B.
In state A you add also transitions to C and D. The transitions from A to B,C,D get these conditions each: nextstate == 'B' ( From A to B) , nextstate == 'C' (from A to C), and nextstate == 'D' ( from A to D)
This equal conditions can be defined with the Jira Suite Utilities Plugin (JSU)
in the transitions back from B to A, C to A and D to A one just sets nextstate := 'B' ( from B to A), nextstate := 'C' (from C to A) and nextstate := 'D' (from D to A). Setting a custom field value can also be done using JSU
