How add project level documentation markdown files accesable with DBT explorer

Help
1

Problem I am having

Unable to view markdown files containing project level documentation - i.e. descriptive information not related to a specific model - with dbt explorer

Context why want to do this

We would like to keep all project documentation in dbt project as markdown files, instead of using external WIKI or Word documents that have to be maintained separately from the code. However it seems that dbt explorer can only view markdown files for specific models referenced via description elements in yaml files.

What I’ve already tried

Adding description element in dbt_project.yml file with link to markdown file - compile error - unable to add description element in project file

Some example code

file: models/some_project_overview_details_with_links_to_other_md_files.md
also in the root of the project.

Update on this: dbt support have confirmed that dbt Explore cannot see markdown files except those linked to specific model via yml metadata, so project level information cannot be provided via dbt Explore
