I may still not understand what you want but what you just described
does seem possible with locationmaps. If I understand your desired
correctly, below would be the locationmap.xml addition. and the URL
would *not* change to the original myfile.html. So for any url one
moves, an entry needs to go into locationmap.xml.
<match pattern="**myfile.xml">
<location src="{project:content.xdocs}mynewfile.xml"/>
</match>

If it's automating this process that you're getting desire, then I
apologize -- that's beyond my current level of understanding.
