It doesn't as the directory is a string, not an eval, so it won't catch + and $dataSystem
But adding a "pro" option to use the evaluation could be something to add in the ToDo list! ☺️

If you mean by using environmental variables like %USERPROFILE%, no, not in v1.0
I'll work on adding the possibility!
Right now the plugin can either read a normal string path (ex: "C:\Mygame\") or he can detect his installation directory and from from there (option autodetect + data/ will result in a string heading toward the data folder of the game)
