Possibility to use different ledger files

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I manage different accounting systems - one for my private needs, several others for work-related projects in different companys. While i can do it with the command-line version of ledger(as its just a different file in the end) - i would love to be able to have different ledger-files useable in Obsidian.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to be able to easy choose wich source-ledger-file to work on, from within the UI of the Ledger-Page (overview). If that is not possible, a command (together with a simple ui like a dropdownlist of available ledger-files would also work.

Also: it would be nice to see the actual file-name in the overview ui - (currently there is written Ledger, if i switch to markdown view it changes to the actual filename)

Describe alternatives you've considered Currently i dont see a real workaround, beside managing all those accountings in one file, wich is messy and dont seperate my private from my business work. Edit: another (messy) workaround is changing the ledger-file in the settings to switch between different ones. This works, but is not really convenient - it seems the plugin is not really considering that the file name might switch, so i have to restart obsidian to have it take effect.
