Thank you Romain for the detailed answer. This is exactly what I was
looking for! I will implement your approach and tweak it to my like, if
needed. The idea of a high-granularity &path is great. Thanks again!

Igbanam, I believe one can do either: if you want to get the plugin way,
you use FZF. Otherwise, you use Romain's approach. Both are fine in my
view. After all, that's why we are using vim: to tailor it to our needs
(and small obsessions).
