VS2010 relative paths in local URL references in comment lines

In my source code I would like to add a comment statement as follows:

// "file://explaningPicture.jpg"

In VS2010 such a line becomes a hyperlink, which you can open with [CTRL][CLICK] But it only seems to work when I specify a hard coded path

// "file://C:/mypictures/explaningPicture.jpg"

But since my explainingPicture.jpg is part of my project documentation, it is in the VS2010 project, and I really would like to use a relative path.

But what should it be? What is the current directory in a VS2010 project within VS2010?

Does not look like it currently can be done according to Elegentin Xie MSFT.

When searching header files or .lib files, we can control the relative path to a certain scope. Unfortunately, I have not got a way of dealing the relative path in comment section.

I started a User Voice suggestion that this be added to Visual Studio - feel free to vote for it.

Related questions specifically about images 1 and 2 seem to benefit from Sergey Vlasov's suggestion of ImageComment, an extension which apparently displays the image itself in visual studio and can use relative paths.
