[GNC] Linked location

I have thought about making use of linking things (pictures, emails) to
GnuCash transactions.

I'm not sure I can use it with my setup: I have GnuCash installed an Win10,
an a Mac, and on Linux (Ubuntu LTS). I run GruCash from all of these, but
mostly the Windows and the Mac computer. The GnuCash file is stored on our
local network, and it might be helpful to also have a folder there where I
can put receipts, etc.

However, the local network storage is accessed differently from Mac to
Windows to Linux.

Is the file location stored in the GnuCash  file? If it is, then an
attachment I add in Windows may not be able to be seen on the Mac, right?

Maybe if the default location is stored in my preferences file (???), AND
the attachment is relative to that location, then I may be able to make
this work.

Thoughts?

[Yes, I know I could try it, but (1) perhaps someone on the list has
already been down this path, and (2) I'm afraid that if the path is not
valid on a different platform, it may cause problems (crash?) GnuCash].
