Link another canvas course to an assignment using external tool

I teach chemistry courses that have labs associated. I typically have two separate Canvas courses, one for lecture and one for lab. Since lab counts as a percentage of the lecture course, I would like to link the lab Canvas score to the lecture through an assignment.

For example: in my LECTURE course I create a assignment group call LAB and weight it 25 % (the amount that it counts for in the lecture total). Within this assignment group I create a generic assignment out of 100% and I manually input the final lab score at the end of the semester.

Does anyone know if it is possible to import the total score (so that it updates dynamically) from LAB into this generic assignment using the external tool assignment type? It seems like this would be a simple code job, but I cannot seem to find any information about this.
