Connect to multiple URLs in same path with REST Connector

Hello All, I'm hoping what I want to do is possible.

I'm setting up an app that needs to access several .csvs via a REST API connection. I have about 10 files that I'm accessing, but for the sake of simplicity, let's say I have 3.

File 1 can be accessed at https://api.website.com/CommonPath/File1/csv
File 2 can be accessed at https://api.website.com/CommonPath/File2/csv
File 2 can be accessed at https://api.website.com/CommonPath/File3/csv

Although I haven't tried it, I imagine that I would be able to just set up three REST connections, each pointing to a different URL. However, I would much prefer to be able to somehow set the file path as a variable in the load script or something of the like. I feel that if this is possible, it would be cleaner, especially since I'm accessing 10 or so files.

Thanks in advance for the help!

look for "WITH CONNECTION" and the URL parameter
