Are there any file managers that allow me to like, build an overlay to the actual filesystem that's just symlinks to places on disk?

I have a really bad obsidian prototype where I just have a notebook who's root is my disk so I can link to arbitrary files to navigate to them and open up their fs folder, but what I really want is that but like, lists their contents automatically and launches them when I click the link, instead of having to launch the folder.

basically I want my own custom directory structure using what amounts to in abstract, html links / wiki-style links, but with the actual end-points just auto-populated and browsable and launchable, and importantly, commentable.

does anything exist already? or do I need to figure out ways to automate it

in reply to @NireBryce's post:

ive been vaguely trying to build something like this using Sublime Text's org-mode clone, the idea being that i can automatically sync notes between machines via sync-thing, and use hyperlinks within the orgmode files to navigate to ebooks and project directories within different OSes notions of user home directories. also it's a personal organizer

haven't gotten to directory listing within the hyperlinked files yet, but the system allows running arbitrary python snippets (in place of original orgmode's elisp) which can insert markup for display within files
