Why symlinks do not contain the paths?

Why symlinks do not contain the paths? Everywhrre you read about symlinks you are told the symlink file data contains the target file path+name but when you check the file it contains only the name. Where is the path stored? I am not interested in the actual command to find the path. Iam interested to know where the path is actially stored and maybe an explanation why is not together with the name?
