portable absolute links in HTML export

["Łukasz Stelmach" <lukasz.stelmach@iem.pw.edu.pl>]

Hello.

Is there a simple way to create hyperlinks with *absolute* paths that
would work after both: simple file export (C-c C-e h) and publishing on
a remote server (C-c C-e F). I'd like to create a _menu.org file that
contains some navigation links and #+INCLUDE: it (BTW. M-Tab can't
complete #+INC) in every single file I create and publish.

The problem now looks like there should be separete _menu.org files for
each directory if I want to use relative paths in the menu links, that
work after local (C-c C-e h) and remote (C-c C-e h) export. When I put
absolute paths that work on

Let's say I've got a structure like this

~/WWW/index.org
~/WWW/_menu.org
~/stuff/index.org
~/things/index.org
~/problems/index.org

after publishing the index.org files are available at:

http://example.com/~stl/
http://example.com/~stl/stuff/
http://example.com/~stl/things/
http://example.com/~stl/problems/

respectively.

The _menu.org that works in the main index.org looks like this:

+ [[file:index.org][Home]]
+ [[file:stuff/index.org][Stuff]]
+ [[file:things/index.org][Things]]
+ [[file:problems/index.org][Problems]]

But when I #+INCLUDE it in the stuff/index.org file the links point at

http://example.com/~stl/stuff/index.html
http://example.com/~stl/stuff/stuff/index.html
http://example.com/~stl/stuff/things/index.html
http://example.com/~stl/stuff/problems/index.html

On the other hand if I replace file: links with absolute http: ones I
won't be able to navigate between the HTML files created locally with
C-c C-e h.

+ [[http://example.com/~stl/index.org][Home]]
+ [[http://example.com/~stl/stuff/index.org][Stuff]]
+ [[http://example.com/~stl/things/index.org][Things]]
+ [[http://example.com/~stl/problems/index.org][Problems]]

Is there any "secret" way to overcome such a problem?
