I was looking for this exact feature, then I find out it doesn't exist yet. Let's hope we could get it done eventually.

I have PHP 8.3.x installed on my mac. The studio thinks I'm running 8.0 and the plugin I'm developing requires at least 8.1. I've tried putting a php.ini file in wp-admin folder but no joy. How can I direct the Studio version of Wordpress to use the version installed on my machine?

Currently, there is no way to direct Studio to use the PHP version installed on the machine. We may add the ability to select the version that should be used for each site at some point, though.
