Presently, BaseX offers limited support for embedded use. It seems, at least in principle, a feasible path is available to strengthen the support for the embedded case by supporting a mode of opening a database from a file path independent of data external to the path.
Just to be clear, there are two common uses for the term "path" and i'm not sure which you mean... (1) a filename, e.g. /usrpk/dp/projects/basex/db107 (2) a list of directories (folders) to search for something (DBBPATH)
You can open a database at a given file location easily in BaseX from within XQuery using db:open() and for that matter you can search a list of directories.
Your wording is abstract enough that i'm not sure i've understood what you're trying to do, though.
