Thanx for the fast answer.
So I'm not into coding, so I have to wait if someone who know about catch the same wish and code a plugin or post-proc...
All other I have set to save time without hit the (visible) quality. I'm sure it can be better if a professional move the screws but the most I'm ok with...
To be sure we talk about the same stuff I have attached a snap and marked the points where a retraction occur at the tree support...
A single retraction don't cost much time but so many on the same layer, also not needed at support structures, cumulate much over the time...

Not that I know of. AFAIK the only way to disable retraction solely within supports would be to use a post-processing script (or a plugin, but a post-processing script is easier).
Make sure you don't have Travel > Retraction Minimum Travel set too low, depending on your definition of "right next to it".
Depends on your material and extruder of course, but a retraction shouldn't take very long at all. And the filaments which require a large retraction (like TPU) you really want the retraction anyway because it's already going to be string city. You can control the wear and tear on the filament with Travel > Maximum Retraction Count and Minimum Extruding Distance Window to make sure it doesn't go back and forth too much within a short span of filament.
