You can already move media without losing your watch history.  
The related support article describes how you can do that for entire libraries (library sections) – the same will work if you move a single file / movie folder.

There’s an actual feature suggestion asking to support this via the user interface of Plex (as per your post)

Judging from the years of support requests/questions about this topic, there’s enough interest to warrant a renewed look at this. Can’t this be added to the User Interface to make it easier? Pretty please? It will be nice to finally get a feature that makes it easier to manage libraries for a change!
