Enhance folder note name options

[IeuanK]

Among the people I interact with there are a handful of different folder note naming schemes. Some put it inside the folder, some put it next to the folder (sharing a parent), some put it in a single directory. The naming varies from folder name, folder name prefixed with a character, index.md and even readme.md.

Would it be possible to enhance this feature by allowing setting a relative path (defaulting to ., but also allowing ../, ../../, or /path/to/folder/from/root) and a folder note name that includes a variable (i.e. _$FOLDER.md to make it stuff -> _stuff.md)?

This would allow more flexibility in how folder notes can be used, which would make it easier to add MAKE.md to an existing vault

This specific issue has been living rent free in my head for a long time. When make.md was first implemented, the folder note at the same level as the folder was supported, however it was a source of many issues since it would affect the rules of indexing, renaming and hiding files and would introduce many bugs along the way. It was then removed and the few users who used it were quite sad about it. As make.md has been adding support for rules and formula across the engine, so does the possibility of adding this back. However, this is currently not on the roadmap as I don’t have all the answers to a lot of the drawbacks that were there when this feature was previously implemented. Thanks for the feedback and I’ll update this once there’s more info
