Easiest way would probably be an @move-file button/command where you specified a new location for the file in a popup. The command would: update the header with the new location, save the file (essentially copying it), and remove the file at the original location. This would not strictly be a "move"
Leo mostly follows a push/pull model for files. Where saving "pushes" the file(s) to the file system and updating an @clean file "pulls" from the file system (and if necessary merges). The "active_path.py" plugin can extend the functionality of "pull" operations. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but it creates a bit of a disconnect from directly manipulating the file system itself like people would be used to doing in file manager.
