Create same subfolder structure from inventory folder in compiled folder

More details in this slack conversation

We manage multiple k8s clusters (prod, test, etc) and each team can have one or more namespaces.
Namespaces will usually be the same on all clusters. For example, team1 has a namespace called team1-backend and team1-frontend on both the test and the prod cluster.

In our kapitan configuration, each k8s namespace in a cluster would be a target.

Ideally we would like to have an inventory structure like this:

inventory/
├── prod
│   ├── team1
│   │   ├── team1-backend.yaml
│   │   └── team1-frontend.yaml
│   └── team2
│       ├── team2-backend.yaml
│       └── team2-frontend.yaml
└── test
    ├── team1
    │   ├── team1-backend.yaml
    │   └── team1-frontend.yaml
    └── team2
        ├── team2-backend.yaml
        └── team2-frontend.yaml

and a compiled folder like this:

compiled/
├── prod
│   ├── team1
│   │   ├── team1-backend
│   │   │   ├── k8s-configmap.yaml
│   │   │   └── k8s-deployment.yaml
│   │   └── team1-frontend
│   │       ├── k8s-configmap.yaml
│   │       └── k8s-deployment.yaml
│   └── team2
│       ├── team2-backend
│       │   ├── k8s-configmap.yaml
│       │   └── k8s-deployment.yaml
│       └── team2-frontend
│           ├── k8s-configmap.yaml
│           └── k8s-deployment.yaml
└── test
    ├── team1
    │   ├── team1-backend
    │   │   ├── k8s-configmap.yaml
    │   │   └── k8s-deployment.yaml
    │   └── team1-frontend
    │       ├── k8s-configmap.yaml
    │       └── k8s-deployment.yaml
    └── team2
        ├── team2-backend
        │   ├── k8s-configmap.yaml
        │   └── k8s-deployment.yaml
        └── team2-frontend
            ├── k8s-configmap.yaml
            └── k8s-deployment.yaml

this way each team has their own configs in a subfolder they care about

It's also clear if something is for prod or test cluster.

And then when it comes to deploy everything to a cluster, I can just kubectl apply everything inside compiled/test or compiled/prod

I'm aware of the kapitan output_path config. However, that applies to paths AFTER the target folder.
What I want to do is to have a structure BEFORE the target folder. Between compiled folder and target folder.

This should also be combined with inventory/reclass-config.yaml option:

compose_node_name: true
