MATLAB: How to select active tile in tiledlayout

Question

I want to create one figure with 16 plots arranged in a 2×8 shape. I use

tiledlayout(2,8)

to create the layout and then use the

nexttile

command followed by

plot(x,y)

to insert the plot in the next available tile. I repeat this process 16 times and i get my figure.

If now, for example, i want to go to the tile in the 2×3 postion and add a new plot while hold is activated, how do I do that? With the subplot command, i would have typed

subplot(2,8,11)

to go there and work on that plot. How can I do the same thing but with the tiledlayout command?

"If now, for example, i want to go to the tile in the 2x3 postion and add a new plot while hold is activated, how do I do that? With the subplot command, i would have typed"

One way: e.g

data=1:100;
tiledlayout(2,2);
fig1=subplot(2,2,1),plot(data,log(data));
subplot(2,2,4),plot(data,log(data)+2);

% Let's go to the previous tile 2,1,1

axes(fig1)
hold on;
plot(data,log(data)+2);
