Please link folders to children in graph view

Use case or problem

Folders aren’t shown in the graph. They are invisible, and their child items aren’t shown to have any relationship to each other, even though they do.

If people want their notes to be linked back to their folder in graph view, they have to create a shell note and tag all the other child items, as if it were the folder itself.

Proposed solution

Please automatically link parent folders to child items, or at least create a toggle option in the native plugins. It could even go so far as to create symbolic parent / child links for use in popular plugins like Excalibrain and Excalidraw.

Current workaround (optional)

If people want their notes to be shown in the graph, and their notes to be linked back to their parent folder in graph view, they have to create a shell note and tag all the other child items, as if it were the folder itself.
