can't you use the link facility?

1. open dired
2. go over the name of the file you need
3. C-c l
   [the path/namefile is saved in the kill ring]
4. back to the buffer you're editing
5. C-c C-l  
   store the link

then you may find worth reading the  section of the manual:
Images in  export
-----------------
     #+CAPTION:    The black-body emission of the disk around HR 4049
     #+LABEL:      fig:SED-HR4049
     #+ATTR_LaTeX: width=5cm,angle=90
     [[./img/sed-hr4049.pdf]]
     
     #+ATTR_LaTeX: width=0.38\textwidth wrap placement={r}{0.4\textwidth}

maybe you can use the property  :CUSTOM_ID: ? Manual: Internal links
