OK I see.

Please forgive me if I'm totally wrong. If I want to insert a  
hyperlink in 'a.html' to '/images/1.jpg' then I would write  
href="../../images/1.jpg" because my current document's path is the  
starting point of the file hierarchy. And this is supported.


If you want to that as default, meaning press only CTRL+TAB will show  
you the content of $TM_PROJECT_PATH instead of $TM_DIRECTORY, well  
this could be done by using a kind of mode switch (maybe as user- 
defined TM variable).
