Vim Directory Completion

Question

I like Vim's Directory Completion when I'm normal mode, for example I do something like :cd ~/Desktop it actually autocompletes the name When I hit tab.

So here's my question is there something like let's see, I want somefile.png that's stored in my images directory, and I'm operating from my css file, So I type ../img/som and it automagically completes it for me, is there something like that on ViM

Possible duplicate of When in Vim insert mode, is there a way to add filepath autocompletion? — hdl

This is really super cool, but does not work when there is no space before the path, e.g. in a shell variable assignation PATH=$HOME/foo
