mame standard artwork question

Hello,

for all mame games in my collection I want to use one single artwork for both horizontal and vertical screens. This saves a lot of harddisk space as by using individual artworks.

So I created two sub-folders under artwork folder in the mame directory which contains the bezel png-files. One folder with the horizontal (bezel_hor) and a second with the vertical screen bezels (bezel_vert). In each folder there is a default.lay file with the parameters for loading the bezel files and the resolution.

Now I want to tell mame how to load the correct artwork for each game. But to load an artwok for an specific game I have to create a sub-folder with the name of the zipped rom and put the layout file in there. Is it possible to create a simple layout file in the specific game sub-folder which only links to one of my layout files in my standard bezel folders and what exactly I have to write in this layout file?

Thank you in advance,
