CNAME for Subdomain?

I'm tinkering with stuff which hopefully won't kill anything... *coughs*

Anway, I'm in WHM's dns editor for one of my domains and I'm trying to get a cname to point to a subdirectory. I don't know if this can be done though since the only samples I've seen anywhere are to either just a domain or to another subdomain.

mod 14400 IN CNAME domain.com/subdirectory.

the domain and subdirectory exist, I just didn't feel like using the actual domains for no apparent reason. CNAME for Subdomain? If anyone could help (that includes just telling me it's not possible if it's not so I don't spend my life working for an impossible cause) I'd greatly appretiate it.

And if anyone's wondering why exactly I'm trying to do this, it's because cpanel doesn't let you choose the directory that the subdomain points to and therefore I'm seeking simplistic alternative routes so that I can choose the directory.
