If script names are unique you may employ command_not_found_handler function to do this job. Note though that this will work like you have all subfolders after all folders in $PATH, if e.g. there are executables `/usr/bin/scripts/foo` and `/usr/local/bin/foo` and `PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin` then implementing this functionality via command_not_found_handler will find `/usr/local/bin/foo` before considering `/usr/bin/scripts/foo`.
