Are we talking about relative paths to SVG files in _embedded_ projects?

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/4426

That pull request simply cannot be backported as it is to 2.18 - it is
full of API breaks and it depends on previous QGIS 3 project
refactoring work as well. For 2.18 we would need to completely rework
it, probably with some hacks to overcome the problem of having API
fixed.
