I'm going to try this tomorrow, but in case it doesn't work with C-c C-w,
I would like to vote +1 for this feature.

I have a wiki (in org-mode) and my personal notes (in org-mode) and
they're stored in different directories.  I also have common filenames
like this:

wiki/grails.org
wiki/groovy.org
wiki/vim.org

and

personal/grails.org
personal/groovy.org
personal/vim.org

I resolve this problem currently by refiling my personal items first,
then refiling
my wiki last.  I have two custom methods that set my refile target to
my wiki or my personal directory.  I run njn/set-refile-personal when
I want to refile to my personal directory, and I run
njn/set-refile-notesmine when I want to refile to my wiki.

 (defun njn/set-refile-personal()
    (interactive)
    (setq org-refile-targets
          (quote ((njn/personal-org-files :maxlevel . 5))))
  )

  (defun njn/set-refile-notesmine()
    (interactive)
    (setq org-refile-targets
          (quote
            (njn/notesmine-org-files :maxlevel . 5)))
  )

Anyway, I would love it if I didn't have to do it this way, and I'll
check out uniquify tomorrow.

Maybe a solution would be to use a file-property to give a buffer an
alias when refiling?  Like this:

-------- wiki/grails.org
#+refile-alias: WGrails

-------- personal/grails.org would just use "grails.org"
