In my case, the related file of foo.toml is bar.json.  From an extension
it is not possible to guess whether the related file is bar.json or
baz.json.  find-file.el of Emacs 27.1 has this in the Commentary
section:

;; These functions must return a list consisting of the possible names of the
;; corresponding file, with or without path.

That's why I thought my function could return an absolute file name.
