Good luck, these kinds of trips can get ‘complicated’ !
I am not sure short checking is an option, at least not according to the "rules"

18. If I want to access my baggage during my transit, can I access my belongings?

No. Your baggage has been tagged for transfer and will only be accessible at your final destination.
