Configuration file for reporting server project

Hi!
Is it somehow possible to create a configuration file for a reporting server
project. Something similar like the web.config or app.config file in .NET
applications?
What I wanna do is to store the link of a picture file. I don't want to
hard-code that in every report.
Are there any other options than storing this link in a config file?

What you could try doing is include a link to a picture file in a
report and then check the XML structure of the underlying RDL file in
a text editor (Notepad, Wordpad, etc). Then change the path in the RDL
file via a custom application that creates the RDL file on the fly.
This might be a bit tedious but it may be the only option.

Roger,
Add the picture file to your report project - deploy and hide - no ?
