You can have environment variables in link paths:
[[file:$HOME/wallpaper.png]]
Alternatively, you can define a link abbreviation:
#+link: local-file /home/user/
[[local-file:wallpaper.png]]
and then load it via #+SETUPFILE with different setupfiles on PC and
phone.
Or you can have a custom link type.
