When using VSCode for markdown editing, you can have your attachments separated into their own folder like this:
Go to your settings under “Markdown > Copy Files: Destination” and click “Add Item”.
Under “Item” enter **/* and under “Value” enter assets/
FYI: I’m using the extension called: Markdown All in One
