Description
Does this feature exist in Emacs orgmode core?
Yes
Orgmode link
- Manual mention: https://orgmode.org/org.html#index-org_002drefile_002duse_002doutline_002dpath
- Additional explanation: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/36505/org-mode-refile-multiple-locations-with-same-name-as-target
While the manual mentions the variable, I can't actually find manual documentation on its values. There are multiple website discussions such as stackexchange that provide examples of the options, though.
Feature value
No response
Additional context
Suppose I want to have an org file named work.org that looks like this:
* Project 1
** Tasks
* Project 2
** Tasks
I can only refile today using a destination like work.org/Tasks, which will place under the first heading that matches. I'd like to have a singular file where I can file tasks into different headings without either
a. Making them top-level and distinct such as Project 1 Tasks and Project 2 Tasks
b. Breaking out into separate files such as project_1.org/Tasks and project_2.org/Tasks when refiling

Research direction
Begin with the linked Org manual entry for org-refile-use-outline-path and the linked discussion to understand the supported destination forms. Then trace the orgmode refile handling for work.org/Tasks; done means duplicate headings such as Project 1/Tasks and Project 2/Tasks can be selected without renaming headings or splitting files.
