No, that sort of thing is not possible without very extensive VBA
programming.
The VBA program would need to look through the presentation for linked
materials, find the media files, copy them to a new folder. It would also
have to remain active in a presentation and constantly check media locations
prior to the presentation accessing them, and change the links. Nasty,
nasty program.
PowerPoint will automatically look in the folder where the PPT file is by
default in a relative link. The only other type of link is absolute, and
that maps the exact path to a file.
The only other possible work around would be to use the package for CD
function in PowerPoint 2003 which will gather all the referenced materials
from a presentation into a single new folder. This might get you 90% of
where you want to be.
