Port mirroring across the network, ie non-local, in a network of V1910 switches, is that possible?

Looking for a way to listen in on a port on one V1910 switch, from a port on another V1910 switch in the same network.

My first idea was to mirror the port I want to listen in on, the SnoopedPort, to a reserved local monitor port, both these then on the InterestingObject, which local monitor port would then be connected to another V1910, the Monitor V1910, via an intermediary switch. Then I would connect a PC with Wireshark to an InstrumentPort on the Monitor V1910, and somehow make the mirrored traffic from the SnoopedPort on the InterestingObject appear on that InstrumentPort.

Can that be done in a reliable way??
