Aspire does not support using multiple projects with same name

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the bug

I have a solution file with two asp.net core web projects with same name but in different folders (both physically on disk and logically in solution). Only one project gets generated IProjectMedatada class. I have to manually define the class for the other project.

Expected Behavior

It should use the relative path (physical path in disk or logical path in solution, probably as namespace) of the generated IProjectMetadata implementation for each of the projects allowing me to add both projects resources.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a .NET Aspire Empty App
2. Create a new ASP.NET Core Web App inside a subfolder WebApp1
3. Rename the ASP.NET Core Web App created in step 2 to WebApp.
4. Add reference to this project in aspire app host.
5. Create another new ASP.NET Core Web App inside a subfolder WebApp2
6. Rename the ASP.NET Core Web App created in step 5 to WebApp.
7. Add reference to this project in aspire app host.
8. Try adding the resource in app host's Program.cs for both.

Exceptions (if any)
