I use VSCode to organize my novel writing, specially the characters, locales, concepts... but this issue is relevant for any kind of writing, even technical ones.

To do so, I use a folder structure similar to this

novel_title\characters\flat\file.md
novel_title\characters\round\file.md
novel_title\locale\file.md

My idea is to use Markdown Memo to link the documents in a wiki but, when I add the [[]] and the autocomplete fires up, I see something like:

some_other_novel_title\characters\...
some_other_novel_title\characters\...
current_novel\characters\...
current_novel\characters\...
some_other_novel_title\locale\...
some_other_novel_title\locale\...
current_novel\locale\...
current_novel\locale\...

As obvious, this makes the autocomplete unusable with a long file structure since I just cannot know which file I'm selecting.

I understand that there will never be an ideal solution for this, because of the limited display width, but I believe it's more important to know the file name than the beginning of the path. So, I suggest that this is changed to something like:

some_other_...\first_character_file.md
some_other_...\second_character_file.md
current_nov...\first_character_file.md
current_nov...\second_character_file.md
some_other_...\first_locale_file.md
some_other_...\second_locale_file.md
current_nov...\first_locale_file.md
current_nov...\second_locale_file.md

I have a different usecase but the same problem.
Would love for this to be an extension setting because I have one notebook that I want to have the short format auto complete and another I want the long format for.
