Exposed path properties save UID if referencing a resource

Currently, if a user or some resource exposes a path in a script,
if this references a resource path it will be saved as a full path.

This will make refactoring not work if the resource pointed towards
changes location or is renamed.

This change makes it so an uid:// path is saved internally in case
a path to a resource has been selected, effectively making it refactor proof.
