Would it make sense (and be non-trivial) to make the links relative?
It seems this could help some use cases, although not all.

If someone sends me a pdf with its LilyPond source I can simply drop 
them anywhere and it'll work.
OTOH, if I manage my stuff through version control and pull changes from 
somewhere else, the links will have become outdated and point to the 
wrong places. And through version control you can't use file dates to 
compare.
