Is there a way to rename a file or folder without the computer changing things?

Windows 11

What I mean is, when you rename a folder or file, the computer might not know what to refrence for other things anymore. Is there a way for me to rename it only for me to see, without changing the actual file name, thus letting me organize my files better without breaking folders and files that relate to each other?

(Windows 11 tag cause I'm like 80% that's what I use) (I'm sorry of this is confusing im not not the best with tech)
