URLs to include parent category

We want articles to show their respective category, AKA our module names, in the URL structure.
For example, "/docs/onboarding/getting-started"
Instead of "/docs/getting-started"
Where "onboarding" is the category name and "getting-started" is the article name, which is nested under "onboarding."
We have followed the instructions on creating the categories by either selecting "Page" or "Index" from the available category types, but we don't have the article's slug pointing to its parent category or its inclusion in the URL, which is vital for SEO and readability.
The ask is an industry standard for block editors such as WordPress, where you can customize the slug format to suit. You're requested to look into this feature's availability at your earliest.

Hey, just wanted to add another point to this.
We've also noticed that when we export our documentation for offline use, the file structure doesn't include the category path either. So it's not only a URL issue. The flat structure also makes our offline documentation hard to organize and navigate.
To illustrate how it currently is:
"file:///Users/user_name/Downloads/.../docs/.../en/getting-started.html"
How we want it to look, preferably:
"file:///Users/user_name/Downloads/.../docs/.../en/onboarding/getting-started.html"
Works best for us where a solution can handle both the online URLs and the exported folder structure.
