Rule to run a rule

Is there a way in Rule Engine to run one rule from inside another?

I have a rule to refresh Open Weather Map data. It would be handy to have another rule to run that ‘refresh’ rule on a loop-timer. So in the ‘loop-timer’ rule, I would have a step to run the ‘refresh’ rule. I don’t much care if it runs the ‘refresh’ rule before continuing with the next step or if it runs the ‘refresh’ rule simultaneously to continue to the next step (though that might be important in other cases).

I realize that I can modify the ‘refresh’ rule to incorporate the loop-timer function. But I envision having other similar updates that occur on loop-timers and it would be nice to consolidate my loop-timers all in one rule and my action rules in another. Then it might be easier to add frequency-variability and override functions. I’m ok doing it in the refresh rule (and not needed to run a rule from a rule), but I thought I’d ask first if there was a way to run a rule from another rule. Might be good for other use-cases as well.
