You can (partially) already do this by activating "MP3 player"
sychronization in the preferences dialog, and set the custom filename to
"{episode.basename}". That will use the same filename that is also used
by the episode. After you have synchronized (Ctrl+S) your episodes, you
can use "remove old episodes" (Ctrl+K) to free some disk space. The
episodes will stay in the folder you specified with "MP3 player" sync.
Does this solve your problem?
