CCS/MSP432E411Y: How can I refer to original location of .projectspec / relative to it?

Part Number: MSP432E411Y

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello!

I am currently working with a ProjectSpec for a skeleton application.  I prefer to keep the files linked to external to the workspace, so files are included with  <file path='../file.c' action='link'>.  This way I can keep the necessary stuff clearly separated from generated files, and edit files directly from CCS.

The problem is that I don't know how to refer to the original location (to set include paths.)  Currently I've added a buildVariable which defaults to PROJECT_ROOT, but that will need to be edited?

What is the correct way, or do I just need to copy ?  For some reason, when selecting the file, I can only "copy" the files (that will be automatically selected.)

PROJECT_ROOT and PROJECT_LOC (what's the difference between these?) point always to the workspace, and none of the build variables seem to be referring to the original import directory?
