Is the moving of relative symlinks automated?

Relative symlinks are for moving the target file? I'm curious what could be a part of that operation that would change the location of the symlink.

Note about symlinks: A symbolic link stores the location of another file. Deleting the symlink doesn't affect the other file. Deleting the other file means that the symlink won't work. There are two types of symbolic link - Relative and Absolute. An absolute link stores the path from the root directory to the target file (eg `/home/fred/MyFile'). A relative path stores the path from the symlink to the target (eg `../fred/MyFile'). If the target file is never going to move then you want an absolute link, but if the target may move (and the symlink will be moved with it) then you want a relative link.
