Title: Is there a way to use "relative" linking rather than absolute/hard linking?

Is there a way to use "relative" linking rather than absolute/hard linking for internal pages?
In the past on other platforms I was able to use relative links that would allow a certain amount flexibility.  I had some issues with my AbanteCart installation with upgrading and was forced to reinstalled and migrate database, store, etc. over.  When this was done I placed the on-line store from the "store" directory to a new directory called "retail".  Now most of the links within the store still point a the "store" directory because I didn't know any other way to link a page other than going to the page I wanted to be linked to, copying the URL and placing this URL as the linkable text or menu item. 

Is there a better way to link page so in the future I don't run into this issue?

Hello.

Better way is use links relative to your domain
