'variable substitution in a Kubernetes YAML file

I have a deployments.yaml file and for a hostpath in my spec I am doing something like this:

    spec:
      volumes:
        - name: fe-source
          hostPath:
            path: /home/myname/src/TargetDirectory

notice here that the path mounted is an absolute path starting from my root folder all the way to my target directory. Now if I was developing solo, this would be just fine, I guess but the goal here is to collaborate with other devs and it would make much more sense to use a relative path. Something to the effect of

spec:
  volumes:
    - name: fe-source
      hostPath:
        path: ../../../src/TargetDirectory

however, it appears that relative paths are not supported. I was wondering if there was a way to maybe incorporate an environment variable such ${PWD} so that no matter which dev is working locally, they could just clone the repo and start as opposed to having to change that out for each dev
