Issue/Bug description: In Cosmic Files, when multiple files or directories with the same name are pinned to the sidebar but are from different locations, it can lead to confusion as the sidebar only displays the name without any context.

Steps to reproduce:

Expected behavior: When pinning files or directories with identical names, the sidebar should display a part of their unique paths (e.g., the parent directory name or the full path) alongside the name. This will help users quickly identify which file or directory they are referring to without having to hover or click to see details.

Other notes: Multiple entries of TestFolder but from different locations are in distinguishable. image
