I'm not sure I'm answering the right question; as far as I know,
outgoing mail has to go in a particular mailbox, not just somewhere
in a folder. So I'll answer for mailboxes.

If you just want outgoing mail that's going to that_friend to go to
a folder, it's easy:

fcc-save-hook that_fri...@somewhere.no =friend_sent

(You can use just an fcc-hook too; I tend to use fcc-save-hooks
to make it easier to save both incoming and outgoing mail in the
same folder, so I keep conversations together.)

But in practice, I generally want mail that's either to, from, or
CCed to a particular person or list to end up in the same mailbox.
And that's a lot more complicated to specify:

fcc-save-hook "(~t that_fri...@somewhere.no | ~c that_fri...@somewhere.no | ~f 
that_fri...@somewhere.no)" =friend_sent

I wish there was a more compact way to specify it -- it's tedious to
add new entries -- but it works.

For the folder part of your question, you could specify the mailbox as
=that_friend/Sent, or /path/to/that_friend/Sent, or whatever you want.

Does that help, or did I misunderstand the question?
