Hang on, read your original request above - you wanted to avoid copying the source to the Qsys directory :)

Let me rephrase: SOPC adds the file paths to the project qsf file without copying them :)

If you don't like my use of environment variables, there are two other solutions;
1. The ::quartus() array is available in most of these tools. If the environment is inherited when one tool starts the next, then you can put a variable in ::quartus and access it in the downstream tools.
2. You can create a fake generic/parameter using set_parameter, and then access it later using get_parameter
Personally I see no harm in setting a few environment variables :)
