Sure but you'll have to use the "Attributes" tool for that.
The "Attributes" tool has a "Browse Files" button (folder icon + down
arrow icon). This button is a "split button". If you click on the down
arrow icon, you'll get a popup menu letting you choose "Absolute path"
rather than "Relative path". (but please keep "URL" selected, do not
select "filename".)
The choice made there persists during the whole editing session, but
will be lost when you'll quit XXE.

So far it appears that if you create an XML file in
one folder, and insert images in it that reside in another folder, the
pathnames that are generated are relative.
Yes. This allows to create a ``self-contained folder'' containing the
document and all its resources.
Then if the XML file is
moved to a different folder, the editor is unable to find the images.
Not if you use "File|Save As". Try it and you'll see that the pathnames
of the images are automatically updated.
We recommend to do this rather than use absolute pathnames for images.
