Custom path for items in listing

Description

My Quarto project has the following structure:

quarto_project/
├─ blog/
│  ├─ 2022/
│  │  ├─ 2022-MM-DD-slug/
│  │  │  ├─ index.qmd
│  ├─ 2023/
│  │  ├─ 2023-MM-DD-slug/
│  │  │  ├─ index.qmd
│  ├─ index.qmd

In other words, each blog post is an index.qmd placed inside the directory YYYY-MM-DD-slug/, but to keep things easy to browse (since there are a lot of blog posts), these directories are placed inside a corresponding YYYY/ directory.

The file /blog/index.qmd is a listing, with front matter

---
title: "Blog"
listing: 
  contents: .
  type: default
---

Which works almost perfectly, but the blog posts in the rendered site obviously have URLs of the form /blog/YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.

How can I get Quarto to render these pages such that their URLs are of the form /blog/YYYY-MM-DD-slug/?

This was discussed several times in discussions and issues (non exhaustive list):

• How I can hide folder structure from the link in the quarto blog? #6418
• What is the best way to use directory URLs (e.g. mywebsite.com/about/) instead of direct links to HTML pages (mywebsite.com/about.html) #6398
• Use a dummy index.qmd to point to the preferred document to render/use in a folder structure #7299
• Setting up permalinks for posts and other categories of content #1408

So the method as of now is to do this manually with redirects in each file? Ok, thanks! I'll probably set up some pre-processing script to do just that then
