So, this is going to be a total longshot, I know... but is there any way to have a folder inherit the contents of another folder, but also be able to add additional items of it's own, or override specific contents with it's own?

I'm thinking in programming ideas, similar to a class inheriting another class, but also adding its own method, or overriding others.

So for example, if you have a folder:

OriginalFolder
    SubFolder1
        ATextFile.txt { some file contents in here }
        ADiffFile.txt { some original contents in here }
    AJpgFile.jpg

and then define another folder as inheriting OriginalFolder, but then it also has an additional file, and has its own version of the text file, so it would wind up looking like this:

InheritedFolder
    SubFolder1 (inherited)
        ATextFile.txt (local) { different file contents in here }
        ADiffFile.txt (inherited)  { some original contents in here }
    SubFolder2 (local)
    AJpgFile.jpg (inherited)

I'm kind of guessing there isn't really, ... but ... who knows?!
So, I'm taking the shot in the dark, to see if anyone knows of a way.

I'm working in a Windows environment; the server in question where I'm looking to do this specifically is Windows Server 2019.
