Bookmarks across different computers

Bookmarks in the bookmarks file appear to be saved using absolute paths. This creates conflicts resolving bookmarks in a file that is synced across different computers:

Absolute path computer 1: /user/sync/file_with_bookmark

Absolute path computer 2: C:\sync\file_with_bookmark

The absolute path of either file is used when writing to the emacs bookmarks file, which is also synced across both computers. Is there a way to save the bookmark in a way that would work on either computer? For example, perhaps the synced path for each computer could be expanded when resolving the bookmark?
