How to in LC for Desktop and the Web?

I have an LC application that currently runs on Window and macOS, that I
want to try to get running under LC 10 for the web. One characteristic
of the app is that it opens a number of external stacks. On desktop
platforms, these external stacks (outside the .EXE (windows) or .app
package (macOS) are found in a folder at the same level as the installed
application.
So if the app is installed at C:\Program Files\MyApp\MyApp.exe
The the folder containing the external stacks is at C"\Program
Files\MyApp\FolderOfStacks\
I get the path of the mainstack and use it to construct the path to the
folder
If I build for Web, is there some equivalent model for external stacks?
I get that I may need to have a:
switch platform()
case "Win32"
case "macOS"
-- load external stacks the way I do now
break
case "web"
-- load external stacks some other way
break
end switch
but what is the web best practice for that 'some other way"? And is it
different if I am testing locally vs hosting MyApp on a server?
