How to retrieve and update a subfolder in the FOLDER Structure?

Hi, [Giovanni](https://discourse.openehr.org/u/surfer). Specifically, when using the **openEHR Tool** , how to represent the **path to FOLDER**? Now, whatever the path is, the operation would return the whole FOLDER Tree Structure.

Thanks.
