Similar to a Static VI Reference, you could have a static file reference which would function just like a path but would allow non-VI files such as a script to be called by a sysexec call or a python node, etc. to be implicitly included in a build without having to remember to add them as "always included".
I saw my father do some work on a car once as a kid and I asked him "How did you know how to do that?" He responded "I didn't, I had to figure it out."
