Thanks.

@Marco: In the next version of t-filter (and by inheritence t-vim), the 
local files will also be searched in \usepath locations.

Thus you can use:

\usepath[list-of, paths]

\starttext
\process<fillter>file{file-in-path}

\type<vim>file{file-in-path}
\stoptext

For the moment, this is MkIV only feature.

If you want to experiment, make the above change in file-res.lua, 
regenerate the formats, and use t-filter.mkiv from github.
