Is it possible to create and use some lookup table to replace (for instance) %u in mail_location?

Suppose my mail_location is:

mail_location = maildir:/private/var/mail/nl.rna.mail/%u

But I would like to use a simple lookup table to replace %u with another value,
say '8DB4E345-9144-4F92-8C9F-9D47BB61CBF8? instead of ?username?. Is there a
(simple) way to do this?
