[Enhancement] Citation can't find literature note file when the file is moved into subdirectory. #207

I use a series of files to organize my literature notes, and I have made a subdirectory in the citation database path for each literature and archive the files into that folder. When I try to Open Literature Note, citation always creates a new literature note file into the citation database path instead of opening the archived one. I hope citation can search the whole citation database path (or even the whole obsidian vault) to find the existing literature note.

I think that'd be great! I like to place articles, books, and book chapters in different folders and right now that makes it impossible to use citations effectively. I think it'd be neat if at least citations could search the subfolders in the main folder when opening or citing a source
