Importing pictures with variable

Hi

Mac OS only

I am trying to create a script that when a record is entered the corresponding picture is viewed in a container.

I already have a link to the picture stored in a field

 

 

/Users/johnclark/Pictures/ShootMate/J/John And Chris Fellows Wedding_0209/Original Files/8_0209_JONG.JPG

 

 

But filemaker uses a special syntax for paths to images ie

 

 

image:../../Pictures/ShootMate/H/Harry Wilmott_0206/Original Files/8_0206_HATT.jpg

 

 

The image folder once set could be stored on a external HD in which I believe filemaker needs

Imagemac: Blah Blah

 

Is there way I can create a path to the image that filemaker will recognise as a variable?
