I requested something like this functionality some time ago but never found an answer. I create new projects in projects.org, via capture or direct editing. Each project is a top-level heading that may sometimes contain sub-headings, todos, etc. Most often it remains a simple top-level heading containing a drawer but no body or subheadings. It takes one of the following states: PROJ, DONE, CANCELED, or DORMANT. I have several agenda views that track active projects (i.e. not done, not canceled, and not dormant), and other tag attributes (personal, professional, ...). I use a set of optional tags to track where project data is kept: :org:, :computer:, :email:, :file:, :binder:, etc. Many projects have the :computer: tag and a corresponding folder on my hard drive with various file types stored there including txt, docx, org, pdf, jpeg, etc. I would very much like a way to quickly create that folder with the unique project name that I assign in the top-level heading. It would be super nice if this automagic folder creation feature also creates a link to the folder inside my projects.org file.
