Node.js require a file relative to the root of the package

In Node.js, is there any way to require file from the same package without using relative paths? For example, here's a snippet of code from ESLint.

const rule = require("../../../lib/rules/accessor-pairs"),
    { RuleTester } = require("../../../lib/rule-tester");

The fact that we have to walk all the way up the tree ../../../ to get to the root is not only annoying. It's also brittle, because I can't move the code without updating all of dependency references.

Yet somehow Node.js developers seem to have lived with it the past 10 years. I can't find anything in the docs or Stack Overflow that solves this problem other than a third-party dependency called require-self. Nor have I been able to find a definitive statement that using relative paths is the only non-hacky way for a file to require another file in the same module.

If there's a way to specify a path relative to the package root in ECMAScript Modules (ESM) but not CommonJS (CJS), or vice versa, I would like to know that as well.

To be clear, I don't think there is a solution to the problem. If there is great. Otherwise, I'm looking for confirmation with an authoritative reference.
