utilise project_root when referencing other objects id relatively #368

In all my configurations my references to other objects ids are via relative paths for example

config:
  - chris-infra-ap: Alerts.json

chris-infra-ap:
  - name: "Chris-Infra-ap"
  - mzId: "Chris/management-zone/chris-infra-mz.id"

This works fine if i run monao from the projects root folder and Chris is a project folder in my root project folder. However if i choose to run monaco from another working dir and pass it the project root dir, while it will use that to find the projects, it will not be able to resolve the object references.

monaco deploy -e="C:\Users\cdoyle5\PycharmProjects\monaco\refactored_projects/environments.yaml" -v  -d -p="Chris" "C:\Users\cdoyle5\PycharmProjects\monaco/refactored_projects"

In this scenario all the project files are discovered and referenced from the project root i passed in however my references to other objects are relative and fail.

Is it possible to have monaco apply the project root paths to objects references the same way as it does for projects and configs. This removing the need to be tied in to running monaco from the project root or having to put absolute paths in the yaml configs which would break between each devs environment or OS.
