What about creating a hard link in the .mc/ directory to the 
required configuration file in same directory.
Name the hard-link 'ini' and point it mc-ini-whatever?

I tried this and it works. The only thing is when you 
edit and save the ini file in using mc itself, using the 
'hard link' the following message appears:

┌────────────────── Warning ───────────────────┐
