Yes, this can be done.

In Tree.ini (Options -> Advanced -> Tree) change the definition of
input by adding the FILENAME directive identical to the one for
\includefrom by replacing the macro to be executed from
IncludeFrom.edt to IncludePath.edt.

The macro is already there but you may have to modify it
depending on where and how your path is defined. The default
one assumes that the paths are defined in the preamble.
