Should use URIs instead of local paths

Description
In this age of the Internet and the Networked Computer we still use local file paths to reference projects. This is rather limiting, if one considers that almost all users have access to a network or the internet these days.
Now, of course we don't yet have the code to load and save files over a network, but using URIs now would ease the architectural changes that would come later.
