I have tried a hacky solution with a plugin I found on github, which can do the trick. But only on one machine. As soon as you try to introduce sync, at least Obsidian’s paid for sync feature, it all falls apart (I’m guessing it ignores any “.” folder that isn’t “.obsidian.md”). I had a hell of a time trying to fix sync issues when I tried to implement this one.
Not sure if syncing via other routes (google drive, dropbox, self hosted server) would have any other effects as they’re jus syncing everything in the vault folder regardless?
