I'm thinking that instead of saving favorites in a "profile name" folder then why not give the ability to rename this folder so it will based set to a project name. Just brainstorming...

[jellypuno]

Another thought is a major change in UI/UX. Instead of adding "profile folder" then it could be "project folder". There could be an icon to create a new folder.

We would need a way to connect that "project folder" to a connection (And remember it).

Alternatively we could implement a file system provider based on our extension API to provide a virtual workspace that would mimic a "project".

This is how the remote access through SSH, on github.dev, or access to local file system on vscode.dev are implemented.

From my perspective, what will make this useful is being able to have PDS members represented as individual files in a Project (I'm Bryant in the Slack thread). If it ends up being like favoriting (which doesn't seem to honor favoriting PDS members unless there's something wrong with my install), it probably won't help much. I think we're on the same page, but I wanted to at least clarify since I never said that in the initial recommendation in Slack. In IDZ you assign specific members to project folders.
