Description

It would be great to have action\PLUGIN_NAME\* as a structure so actions (add-ons) can be added in a clean structure without polluting the folder. Right now (after #120), only action/NAME/NAME is supported.

Personally, I use git submodule to structure the actions folder.

An example of something like this is how vim does plugins. See: vim-plug

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current addon loading mechanism in the script, particularly the logic that scans for addons in `action/NAME/NAME`. Design a way to also support `action/PLUGIN NAME/*` so that addons can be in subdirectories. Consider backward compatibility with the existing structure.
