Reusing macros from templates in lovelace_gen.

I've taken my code reuse to a whole new level and now find myself in the scenario where I have macros that I want to both call from within templates and lovelace_gen. The problem of course is the path, because HA templates look directly in /config/custom_templates, and lovelace_gen needs it to be explicit.

{% macro example() %}
{%- set source_path = '/config/custom_templates/' -%}
{% from source_path + 'data.jinja' import my_data %}
---  do some stuff ---
{% endmacro %}

Can anyone think of any way of detecting from within the macro if its running under lovelace_gen or HA?

I've tried by using the lovelace_gen _global variables, in HA you can use the states function to test the lack of existence of a _global.something, but of course states() isn't available to lovelace_gen, also is defined/undefined doesn't work in HA as it throws an error before it checks it.

The only work arounds I have are to pass a variable in telling the macro where its being called from, or by maintaining two code sets (or wrapping the code somehow) with the source_path set differently, neither are perfect solutions.

Any ideas?
