This is a really interesting idea. I'd like to see a JIRA on it but with
a low priority since it's not at all on my roadmap now. But it's
something I'd like to investigate "Later".
Thanks for the idea, Galder.

absolute paths is not what I call sharable between team members. of course it is possible
to "share"
