I don't think "touch in" as a phrasal verb exists. Maybe you mean "get in touch with"?

Perhaps it's a metaphor from painting. You 'touch something in' when you suggest e.g. a figure in the background of a picture with a few quick strokes.
So here it could mean 'make a slight reference to the brother-in-law'. More than 'imply', but less than 'discuss openly'.
