We can add a DGN Link to an element. That link may refer to a file by a fully-qualified name e.g. \\MyServer\Documents\Word\word.docx. It may be a relative path.
\\MyServer\Documents\Word\word.docx
Can we use a MicroStation Configuration Variable when defining a file link? For example, suppose a project has associated Word and Excel files that live in project folder \OFFICE. The workspace configuration defines a configuration variable OFFICE_DOCUMENTS. The above DGN link might then be written $(OFFICE_DOCUMENTS)Word\word.docx.
\OFFICE
OFFICE_DOCUMENTS
$(OFFICE_DOCUMENTS)Word\word.docx

Apologies for the delay in response to your question. It appears to have been lost in the queue.
I'm not sure whether this option is something that would answer this question but there is a method in the Help Documentation to create a link using a Configuration Variable.
To Create a Configuration Variable Link

That's close to what I'm thinking. But it seems closely tied to Worksets. I would like to add a link a DGN element that points to, say, a Word file (without using Project Explorer).
