Not easily. There is only a single logbook and resource directory inside elogd.
The reason is that these are constants which can be fixed during compile time.
The Debian package uses this extensively. So having multiple directories would
break that scheme.

I'm afraid you have to use soft links. The favicons you can define however via
the theme, which is a per-logbook option, so it would work in the [global
topgroupname] section as well.
