It does already. See (info "(elisp) Multi-file Packages"):
If the multi-file package contains auxiliary data files (such as
images), the package's Lisp code can refer to these files via the
variable `load-file-name' (*note Loading::). Here is an example:
(defconst superfrobnicator-base (file-name-directory load-file-name))
(defun superfrobnicator-fetch-image (file)
(expand-file-name file superfrobnicator-base))
