I think you can simply use Emacs' function advising infrastructure to set bibtex-completion-library-path
dynamically before running helm-bibtex
or ivy-bibtex
. I'd say that this is a natural/idiomatic solution and it doesn't require any changes in bibtex-completion.

Absolutely! Anyone who wants to use their pdf library from outside emacs and might have a different folder structure can just advice helm-bibtex
, helm-bibtex-follow
and ivy-bibtex
.
This issue is mostly about official support in the package, since currently it feels like a hack.
I thought it might be best to raise it so that it's also considered when thinking about a comprehensive solution to #287.

It works and bibtex-completion (its caching mechanism) was designed with uses like this in mind. So I'd say, there's no reason to view this as a hack. Perhaps we can make it feel less hacky by officially endorsing this solution in README.org?

Sure, including it in README would be great! I can make a pull request describing how to do it if you want.
What I meant was that the advising mechanism itself is basically a hack! From the manual:
"... advice should be reserved for the cases where you cannot modify a function’s behavior in any other way. ... If you are writing code for release, for others to use, try to avoid including advice in it. ..."
