Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. In PR #425 the function "get_file_index_entry_location" was added to util.py. This function is okay, but reveals an underlying problem of there not being a good way to get different file locations from mmeds.

Describe the solution you'd like Explore a way to have file paths stored somewhere they can be easily accessed. Possibly connecting this to one of the databases.

Additional context Thanks to Matt for bringing this up
