Description
Thank you for the plugin.
I would like to have a fallback dir to search my "out-of-band" session files.
For example, I stored my session with :Obsess ~/.local/state/vim/ (that was a long to type but I agree to do it once).
Next time I would like to be able to quickly restore the session without the long path typing (or maybe without typing at all).
As the path is going to be the same every time, I would like to have it as fallback default to search for the sessions.
Could we think about the strategy here, maybe implement some assistance from the plugin?
Thanks.

Research direction
Start by reading the plugin's existing session-file handling and the :Obsess command entry point. Decide how a fallback directory should be configured and searched, then verify that a session stored outside the usual location can be restored without repeating its full path.
