Defining a directory tree today requires breaking each folder of the path into an individual Directory element. This creates a large number of Directory elements when it is very possible only a couple are referenced widely. To simplify the definition of the directory tree, this feature request is to use an alternative "inline" syntax. For example:

<Directory Id="BinFolder" Name="ProgramFilesFolder:\Company\Product Name\bin" />

Ideally, this syntax would be accepted anywhere a Directory Id is allowed today.
