Notwithstanding the main line of the discussion, which I know little of to
add anything, this particular bit I do not like. The source reference should
be a source reference; a link to a particular file and line should the
translator wish to venture there for more context.

Instead, I'd put the document-tree path as another automatic comment (#.),
with a certain prefix to indicate it as such.
