What if there are 100 different "unresolved" paths? Which one do you
want?
mkdir foo
for i in bar{a,b,c,d,e,f,g}{h,i,j,k,l,m,n}{o,p}; do ln -s foo $i; done
do you want baraho, or barclp, or barfho or ...?
And I'm not asking this to be pedantic. I'm asking so that you think
about what you're actually asking for.
If you want to know "how did the user get there", you'll need to have
a trail of what they did some how, which may not be available.
If you just want to know "where am I", then please accept the "resolved" name
as your current location.
