Pass argument to Doctrine's lifecycle callback method

I have Doctrine entity File which knows relative path to file on disk (e.g. m/d/5/md5.flac). Since I don't wanna have disk full of useless files I would like to remove file from disk as well.

For this purpose I decided to take advantage of Doctrine's lifecycle callbacks because they are really simple to use. The problem is I don't have first part of absolute path (e.g. /mnt/storage) to file which is configured in my config.yml as one of many options.

Is there any way how can I pass config option to lifecycle callback?

The other possibility I found is to use normal doctrine event but it seems to be an overkill to call one unlink().

As stated in symfony/doctrine documentation:

Lifecycle callbacks method receives no arguments. This is always the case for lifecycle callbacks and is intentional: lifecycle callbacks should be simple methods that are concerned with internally transforming data in the entity (e.g. setting a created/updated field, generating a slug value).

I think that best option in this case is to set the path of the file you want to process/remove and do the processing in the callback method for your entity.
