Best way to reference files inside mod folder

Right now to get a reference to a texture file I uploaded with the mod i am using.
Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(Application.dataPath, @"..\..\..\") + "/workshop/content/1055090/<SteamID_of_mod>/<filename>"))

which seems a little silly and not sure how accurate it will be with peoples steam install.

Anyone know of a better way?

This Cities Skylines mod for example uses DLL resources to do it: https://github.com/Strdate/AdjustPathfinding/blob/master/AdjustPathfinding/UI/Textures.cs

Plenty of mods (Cities Skylines, Kerbal Space Program, etc.) have their source on github, it's a good way to figure out how to do stuff :).
