Well I found one 
https://github.com/ScriptDevil/org-fs-tree

But again I cannot add comments, nor seems there be a update function.

Well, since I tend to forget things, and it is very time consuming to
open files and see what is the basic content, I thought of adding to
each directory (with subdirectories if necessary) I find useful a
README.org file, that contains a 

    1. Tree of the directory and 

    1. a short description of the content of each file

I use bookmarks.el but that is an entirely different  workflow, since I
there only save files that I find useful, but sometimes I stumble across
a directory  I created  some time ago and don't recall the content of
each file.
