Feature Request: About the index file & Projects #251

Describe the solution you'd like It might already be the case, I just want to make sure. It would be awesome to be able to do whatever in the Title and body of the index file. I use Longform for client work, so I have a separate note with a detailed project brief. I would love to be able to have the Index file as my project brief, using a template with Templater on Longform project creation. This would also mean having the Index file be renamed "[Project name] - Index".

On a related note, I would love to be able to include Longform projects as sub projects (in my case, deliverables) as part of projects created in the Projects plugin. The scenes could also be tracked in Projects as part of bigger work plans.

Describe alternatives you've considered I currently create a project with Projects, which includes a "[Project name] brief.md" note, and I track project related notes with a tag (usually the project's acronym). When I have a deliverable, be it short or long, I create a "[Deliverable].md" file which has the project tag in frontmatter, but I have to manage the Longform project completely separately from that setup, therefore not being able to link meeting notes, briefs, decisions or research with specific Longform projects or scenes. Of course I can use tags in the scenes' frontmatter, it's just not as clean or automated, so I don't.

You can do whatever you want in the body (non-frontmatter) part of index files.
