Variables in media folder paths?

I'm trying to find a way to have a platform's various media folders set to a location relative to the ROM location.

For example, there's the %romlocation% variable that expands when used in emulator commandlines, but doesn't seem to work when used in for e.g. the video folder path on a platform's config. Is there any way to do something like that? Doing ../ is relative to the launchbox exe, which isn't what I want. Looking for relative to the ROM's path.

Imagine a scenario where every rom has a folder and the media for said rom is stored with the rom in that folder or a subfolder. So %romlocation% would be really useful, but as I said, doesn't seem to expand in contexts other than emulator configs.
