Allow a workspace to show individual files from other folders

See original GitHub issue

Update from @bpasero: this issue was renamed based on the discussion at the end (see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/45177#issuecomment-1341005532 and above)

Original below:

VSCode Version: 1.20.1
OS Version: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.248]

Steps to Reproduce:

N/A

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Currently, .code-workspace only contains folders field which allows to add folders into workspace. I prefer a way to add single files into workspace for the entire project, such as README or something else.

I am closing this “as designed”. This is not a scenario we will support anytime soon. Please also see https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/Issue-Grooming#out-of-scope-feature-requests

I found it hard to believe I could not add files to my workspace. Please reconsider this feature request.
