Author Can DW recognize a Mapped Directory?

In our site, we use a mapped directory where we store all components of our
site-wide templates (e.g. html and images for our header and footer files).
The purpose of this is to make our subdirectories truly portable (i.e. to allow
us to move the location of a directory on the fly within the site structure)
without changing all image and include links in that directory. For instance,
we could take a directory located at www.domain/directory/ and move it to
www.domain/directory/subdirectory/ without having to update any image links --
since they all point to '/templates/', our mapped directory and thus do not
need any dots or slashes (../../) to identify the directory.

QUESTION: Can DreamWeaver be set to recognize a mapped directory and display
files within the mapped directory in DW's design view?

This feature would be very important to developers in my situation since,
without it, we loose the niceties of DW?s design view?no images, no includes.
