Hey Matt -

One way to run relative links is using a Web Object to "carry on" files. Pretty easy:

  1. Create a folder and drop in all of your files. You can add anything to this folder including images, audio, PDF's... Any digital file.
  2. Add an index.html file to the folder. This can be completely blank. Just needs to be there for the Web Object to load.
  3. Create a slide in your story file and add the web object. This can be a slide that is never reached. You could also add it as a layer that's never displayed on one of your slides. The purpose of adding this is so that it's carried into your Story file and exported when published.
  4. Publish your storyline output. You can publish to LMS, Web, or CD. Doesn't matter, the published files are going to be relatively consistent.
  5. Explore the published folder. Navigate to the story_content/WebObjects folder. You'll see at least one Web object folder with a unique ID in that folder. If you see more than one, open each folder until you find the one that contains your "baggage files".
  6. Copy the string to of unique characters from the folder that contains your files. 

This will become your relative reference. Example:
