since this is not possible, is it possible to have caliber not "copy" the files but to maintain a link to the original files ?
i understand that this issue was talked about allot in the forum (from the links you sent), but i am asking if it is possible, not suggesting to change the way the app works,
thanks again for helping

Simple Answer: No
Advanced answer: Mostly no... BUT there is a plugin that logs the original name in a custom column. (DURING ADD)

Calibre can offer sooooooooo much more metadata than can be saved in a file name.
But ADD Books was where you could recover some from the file name (BUT NOT the path) by adjusting the template. This
assumes 
your names are consistant.
