[request] Ability to point to the same file (camerasensor.db, photos,...) regardless on which system we are currently using it #1459

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. So I usually organise my photos on my laptop which is very underpowered to run the whole process, but not for setting up the meshroom configuration which goes fine. So my photos are (on my external HDD) located in E:/Desktop/Gooogle/Drive/Photgrammetry/MR_Project_name/photos/ (and photo location as E:/Desktop/Gooogle/Drive/Photgrammetry/MR_Project_name/photos/IMG2313232.jpg for example) and meshroom successfully imports them. When I would like to do the main process on my main computer which has an internal HDD, the same photo(s) is / are accessed on D:/GDRIVE3/Photgrammetry/MR_Project_name/photos/(IMG2313232.jpg) and no photo is shown, so I have to "import" the photo(s) again, either copying the existing .mg file and drag'n'drop the "new" location or to remove all photos and drag'n'drop them again. The same goes when I'd like to process the photos with a google collab file, so I have to "relink" the photos and other required files for a third time. (The same goes for linkin other files such as camerasensors.db, vocabularyTree, etc.)

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like a way to "map" to the same files regardless of the system and have them available as soon as they sync over the cloud/are access on a netdrive, with no extra re-importing, to just hit "Start" or at least be offered a way to select the missing file or photos folder to auto relink them. Or at least specify different starting "paths"

Describe alternatives you've considered I am doing now by opening the meshroom file by replacing E:/Desktop/Gooogle/Drive/ with D:/GDRIVE/ ( the rest of the path is the same) or google collab equivalent for each required file.

I kinda agree that the #1156 request is what I'd like to see for all files/folders, the #1443 I don't understand quite (I don't use Adobe products very much). Here is an image what I had in mind, how the .mg file would look (for the sensors DB location(s) to give an example) if there was support for this in the GUI. Example for sensorDB "linking"
