Describe the solution you'd like
Currently the directory structure that you can put in is treated as a whole directory, so when I instruct Witsy to go read a directory as part of the prompt it could be something like /Users/Username/Documents/watchamacult/thingamagicky/widgets which is a pain to type in and reference.

It would be great if we can introduce aliases to this structure so the directory above could be aliased to "widgets" instead.

The Logic besides it should check the alias to see if one exists and give an error if it does so that way an alias if exists could be renamed to "widget-1" and the new one can be called "widget-2" as an example.

There should also be a way to remove the alias.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  1. Softlinks just translate to the actual location.
  2. APFS (Apple File System), used in modern macOS versions, does not support hard links for directories.
  3. Copying the Directories or Files which just use up more space.
