Example of Ctrl+E with file name collision

When doing web development I often have html files that share the same name but are in different folders.
In Eclipses Ctrl+E menu I can't differentiate between and I'm left guessing and switching to files until I find the one I'm looking for.

The workaround that I found works by going through "Open Resources" and searching for "${foldername}/${filename}" but I think the Ctrl+E menu should also support this use case.
