its not always LV2 that is the cause of this.

consider the SFZ file format. it refers to other audio samples. it
doesn't require that the references use absolute paths, but they can.

so now create a plugin that allows the user to alter what samples are
used for various note numbers or velocity values or whatever (i.e. a
reasonably capable sampler) and ask it to save its current state. it
gives you an SFZ file to stash away in a location of the host's own
choosing. but what do the contents refer to?
