you don't need anything like that, infact for just the wav files you don't even need a fancy preset. In fact a float 0-1 is all you need for the preset.
Look at My example here:
https://vstplug.com/downloads/flowstone-sampler-components/
What it does is look for a root folder, which you have saved as a .txt file, but that's the only thing you need to load as txt for the preset. Next, all you need to do is list the folders sorted alpha numerically. This is so that they arranged 0-1.
So, if you make expansions, number the file or folder:
1-expansion name
2-expansion name
and that way they will always have the same order and it's just a matter of 0-1 being multiplied by 0.001 or whatever so that you can make a smaller finite number that will allow you the possibility of many categories.
It's the easiest solution. And furthermore; to load more preset data for just that preset, those instructions can lay inside that folder if you wish to be fancier.
