Description

Dynamic lookup of a folder is currently only possible via:

• d/google_folder, which requires the name of the folder in the form {folder_id} or folders/{folder_id}.
• or d/google_active_folder , which requires the display_name and the parent (Organization or Folder)

It would be very handy to be able to get a list of folder(s) matching a string filter under a given Organization or Folder as well, in the same manner as d/google_projects.
