At the moment there is no solution in the digiKam GUI. There is a "hidden"
solution. Since you are already working with the SQLiteBroser, you can add
multiple network collection paths with "?" append. If the first path is not
found, digiKam tries the second path, etc.
Example:
networkshareid:?mountpath=/home/user/pictures?mountpath=C:\pictures
