How to configure WebStorm to point to VM node interpreter

Question

The JetBrains Vagrant plugin applied to WebStorm handles the starting and stopping of the VM just fine. My project node interpreter is configured on the VM. When configuring the project settings in WebStorm only local node interpreters are available.

I am able to ssh into the VM and work with the node project from the command line, like always, but I would really like to integrate the IDE, as otherwise it is just a test editor / terminal multiplexer, and I actually don't need it.

Is there something I am missing? On other Jetbrains products, ie PyCharm, the user is able to select the python interpreter from a vagrant vm, but it appears this is lacking on WebStorm.

Remote Node interpreters are not currently supported, please vote for WEB-1974 and linked tickets
