There are no special hooks for example files.

You could do this in a package load hook, though it might be more 
trouble than it's worth.  In your load hook, save the result of that 
call in a local variable.  Then reference that variable from your examples.

However, it's probably easiest just to put the line

exampleData <- system.file("exampleData", package="rcqp")

at the start of each example that needs it.
