Interesting, I was unaware of this mechanism. It is possible to create 
relative links (without hardwired path) this way? What is the syntax? 
Something like

url(file:userguide.pdf)

which is probably not correct URL?

Is there any way to make relative links works both on local filesystem 
and when server from web server?
