This is a parameter on the LOP Network node. The default value does have $HIPNAME as part of the database file path, but that value is supposed to get "baked" into a HIPNAME_independent value as soon as you add an image to the gallery.

I can see that this is as you say a filepath for the LOP network node. However, not sure if it matters, but we are not using LOP networks, but rather the default stage. Doesnt seem to be a way to access that same info on the regular stage.
