Use a dummy index.qmd to point to the preferred document to render/use in a folder structure

Description

I keep a structure for my site that looks something like:

.
└── blog/
    ├── post1/
    │   ├── notebooks/
    │   │   └── notebook.ipynb
    │   └── data
    └── post2/
        ├── notebooks/
        │   └── notebook.ipynb
        └── data

but this creates a url like: www.mysite.com/blog/post1/notebooks

instead I would like www.mysite.com/blog/post1

Is there a way to use a .qmd to specify which document to render, but keep the structure as if the .qmd was the document itself?

.
└── blog/
    ├── post1/
    │   ├── index.qmd
    │   ├── notebooks/
    │   │   └── notebook.ipynb
    │   └── data
    └── post2/
        ├── index.qmd
        ├── notebooks/
        │   └── notebook.ipynb
        └── data

In this case, index.qmd is a mostly empty file that just has a header that points to the nested .ipynb.

I'm aware of includes but it doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for.

I think I could make an alias/redirect, but I really just want the post to live at www.mysite.com/blog/post1

For short, no you can't get what you want with your structure.
Watch #6518 for future development.

Meanwhile (and as already discussed in some of the issues inside #6518, especially #2065), you can use aliases, see https://quarto.org/docs/websites/website-navigation.html#redirects

Thanks @mcanouil !
