Is your Feature Request related to a Problem or Annoyance?

When running a TemplaterCreateNote Action through a button/inline-button/templated-inline-button, it creates the note according to the Templater template, perfectly. I add the Template File, and change nothing. "Folder" field is set to "/" root.

The expected result is: TemplaterCreateNote button is pressed in note "B" -> makes note "T" (templater note)-> note "T is placed in the same folder as note "B".
Currently, the result is: TemplaterCreateNote button is pressed in note "B" -> makes note "T" (templater note)-> note "T is placed in a newly created folder at root "/".

Which isn't, as that's what it is being told to do. But this button is a template for me, and will not always be in the same folder, so making a static Folder path is super inefficient.

I was able to find that if you go into the source note in the meta-bind-button code, you can delete the "folderPath:" property completely and it works as I expected it to. However, if I want to make a template button in the settings, the popup menu is not source code, and does not have a method to omit or "delete" the folder path for the new note. Again inefficient.

Describe the Feature you'd like

I would like the plugin to have a method to delete or omit the "Folder" path that new notes be placed in, through the popup editor menu. Placing the newly created note in the current folder where the note with the button resides.

Alternatives

Adding a variable or parameter that can be entered in the Folder Path Dialog to function the same. i.e. Similar to Folder Notes Plugin titling "{{folderName}} Overview" -> "{{currentFolder}}"
