parent pom property access

Is there any way to set a dynamic property in a parent pom and have the 
value visible in child poms? I have tried using the maven-ant plugin and 
ant properties and messing with profiles with no luck. I have seen 
similar posts but was not able to find a solution.

The specific use case that I am trying to solve is make the location of 
a configuration file in the parent project available to child projects. 
I have not tried using any pom.parent-like approach because the 
configuration file is not in the immediate parent (it is in the great 
grand parent).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
