Is there a way to maintain psionic focus when a feat would normally call for expending it (e.g. Burrowing Power)?

The Slayer prc provides a few benefits to the character when they are psionically focused, such as an immunity to many detection methods. I am interested in keeping the character psionically focused as all times (with a Wakefulness Graft to avoid sleep), but I'm curious if there's a way to use focus-expending abilities while doing that.

I saw that psicrystals can expend their focus in liueu of the psion expending its focus, but I am concerned that the psicrystal being within 5 feet would be too easy to detect, defeating the purpose of the stealth-ability in the first place.

Well, you can share Escape Detection (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/escapeDetection.htm) with your psicrystal and it lasts all day.

Pathfinder has Persistent Focus and Hyperconscious has Permanent Focus that you could pick up to tie to this ability but those are third party.
