Can you stow your torch in Gothic Remake?

Gothic Remake torch - Mud.

One of the first things you're likely to realise in Gothic Remake is how utterly annoying its torch system feels. When you activate a torch in your hotbar, you'll light it up, which is helpful in such an often gloomy game, but there's no way to put it back in your inventory while it's still burning.

If you select a sword, for example, you'll stab the torch into the ground where it'll stay burning for a good while. You can either pick it up and continue, or wait for it to burn out. Admittedly, it feels quite cool stabbing a torch into the ground in some cave so you can draw your sword and fight a bunch of goblins, but for exploration it's a pain.
