I’m working with kopoia CLI with multiple backup repositories and find the config-file based approach somewhat cumbersome.

At least I can use `kopia repository connect from-config -file <filepath>`. However, I then have to deal with full paths to the location of the config files.

It would be great if kopia supported “named” repository configs, so I can just specify a config name and don’t have to worry about where the configuration is located.

I use rclone quite a bit also, and it has a nice implementation of what effectively is named configs,
