When the extension manager installs an extension xcu file, it textually 
replaces each occurrence of %origin% within that file with a 
(vnd.sun.star.expand) URL pointing to the root directory of the unpacked

manager.  If you need further information, you probably best ask on the 
dev@ooo or [email protected] mailing lists.
