I've suggested a cheesy solution to this in http://www.zope.org/Members/rossl/SpecificContext/ for zclasses but it will work for arbitrary folder structures too. Embarrasing but effective. Just don't tell anyone...

I have a menu DTML method which contains page-specific sidebars. Though this menu often changes, it would be great if I could use acquisition to minimize the number of menu methods. However, if I have a folder in which a menu method from a parent is acquired, I can't think of a way to make URLs absolute. Right now I'm doing:

<a href="../">Home</a><br> ...

But, it's quite obvious what happens in descendants; ../ no longer links to my homepage, and none of the relative links work.
