Add [id] placeholder support for name property

[devrafalko]

Lets assume that I use file-loader this way:

{
  test: /\.html$/,   
  loader: 'file-loader',
  options:{
    name: "[name].[ext]",
    outputPath: 'dist/'
}

When I have got 2 entry points of the same name, but in different directories, eg.

• src/componentA/template.html
• src/componentB/template.html

and want to emit them as separate chunks to my dist folder, the one file overwrites another file and it is not desirable behaviour.

I can of course change name property for name:[name][hash].[ext] and it does the trick, but I just want to separate files of the same names, not to solve cache problems and what's more, if I emit eg. .html files as in the example and use dev-server, it emits new hashed .html file on every build (when I edit html files) what is not recommended as mentioned in this webpack-dev-server issue.

The [id] placeholder indicating the number of the chunk would be the best way to get what I want. The output.filename and extract-text-webpack-plugin supports [id] for example. Would it be possible to add [id] placeholder support or maybe there's any other solution of my problem?
