When adding a subdocument, you may still give a relative path by typing its
location
explicitly in the box at the top of the Subdocument window appearing after
clicking
Insert / List .. / Subdocument. You can also edit the location after the
subdocument has
been included in the usual way by browsing.

This is indeed annoying. When the file is local, you might solve this by
creating a hard link
to the file in the other directory. On Windows this can be done with the
command mklink /H <target> <link>; e.g.
mklink /H bg.bib "..\other folder\bg.bib"
(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-com
mands/mklink). But I don't know
whether MacOS is able to follow this link.
