I know we can get some path with <?php bloginfo('something');?> into php files, but is it some equivalent for javascript file loaded with the enqueue_script function ?
Did wordpress change some shortcode into those files ?

EDIT : I think I did not clearly express my needs. So i want to know if wordpress had some shortcode who, placed into a js file who is loaded with the enqueue method, will be replaced by the template path. Typically i need to make some ajax call form a .php file from my template and want to avoid hard linking file

    No javascript files won’t be parsed as php, and as such won’t process any shortcodes or php.

    Why not just make your links relative. Often I find subdomaining my dev copy, removes any problems when moving a site live and broken links.

    You could cheat and link to a php file, which then passes header information as Javascript. Doesn’t seem very elegant though. See here.

    Or you could just declare the variable in a little bit of inline Javascript and pick it up in the external JS file.

    <script type="text/javascript">
var siteURL= '<?php bloginfo('url');?>';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="yourscript.js"></script>

    Then in yourscript.js just reference the variable ‘siteURL’
