Correct. And it is intended specific for this purpose. Idea is that
even when the document root is moved, you can update all links at once
just by changing the path in the properties dialog.

Typically it is an absolute path, not related to the notebook (e.g.
"~/Documents"). But as a special case, if you put the document root
below the notebook folder, the path will be stored relative to the
notebook.
