Non-existent indexes of excluded folders get linked in the root index

So I have a few folders like Attachments, Templates, and Flashcards which I don't want to be indexed.


To do that, I added them to the excluded list.


While this action prevents the extension from creating index notes within the folder, the extension automatically creates links to these non-existent index notes in the index note of the root folder.


As a result, my graph view displays non-existing index files as nodes. The only way to hide them is by toggling the "existing files only" option, which also hides the nodes of notes I want to create in the future and backlinked in current notes.

So, is there a way I can prevent excluded folder indexes from getting linked in the root index?
