Variable Hyperlinks ?

User-agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/28.2 (gnu/linux)

I use Org with Emacs 28.2 on Linux and BeOrg on iPhones.  I don't
believe iPhones support "symbolic links".  Therefore, where I mount a
USB key on each is going to be a different directory.  I'd like to store
pictures on my USB key and reference them via "file:" hyperlinks in
Org. My problem is accounting for the different directory locations.

Can I create a variable (property? tag?) in my Org file that will have
the path to the USB key directory and use that in an Org hyperlink?

If I can do this in Org, maybe I can use Scheme in BeOrg to do the same
thing and reset the variable for iPhone.  I've thought about using
Syncthing to copy photos around, but space on the iPhone and Chromebook
(for Linux) is at a premium and, after a while, the photos could exceed
available space.  A 1TB USB key gives me a lot of space.
