What O/S are you running, and what are you scripting/programming in ?
If, for example, you are using script, and have access to something like "perl", you can write a simple perl script to change paths to absolute. For example:
Save the above script to a file, and "chmod 755" the file.
You can then call the script with an argument and it will change it into an absolute path.
I hope this helps...

Does anyone know of a way to zip the resulting file from a find command?
My approach below finds the file and zips the entire directory path, which is not what I need.
After scanning the web, it seems to be much easier to perform gzip, but unfortunately the approach must use zip.

SYNOPSIS
systemd-path [OPTIONS...] [NAME...]

systemd-path may be used to query system and user paths. The tool makes many of the paths described in file-hierarchy(7) available for
querying.
When invoked without arguments, a list of known paths and their current values is shown. When at least one argument is passed, the path
with this name is queried and its value shown. The variables whose name begins with "search-" do not refer to individual paths, but instead
to a list of colon-separated search paths, in their order of precedence.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
--suffix=
The printed paths are suffixed by the specified string.
-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
--version
Print a short version string and exit.
EXIT STATUS
On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
