You may mean relocations relative to section symbols. They are represented as
something like .text + 0x20 . I think these are already leveraged by
compilers.. (llvm-mc is better at using local symbols than GNU as)

I think you meant dynamic relocation types. This mechanism is available in
linkers. Dynamic relocation types are only produced when necessary..
