I wonder if you could do something funky with a sym link? Create 
local/html/MyCompLink that points to share/html/MyComp and have your local 
MyComp call local MyCompLink when it needs to call the original component.

I suspect this won't work . If you find a solution I'd be interested to 
hear about it.
