Are you storing all datasheets in every project? I think it's better to
keep one copy per library, so path must be relative to library location.

Don't know about the OP, but from past experience it is wise to store the datasheet for the different components tpgether with the project files. That way you always have the specs available that your design is based on.

So a relative path makes sense depending on the use case and workflow.
