You cannot turn managed photos into referenced photos.
But Photos has no tools to relocate originals to another volume.
Referenced Originals: Photos does support referenced files, and a bit better than iPhoto, but photos with referenced originals cannot be used with iCloud Photo Library. See here, what will migrate and what not: How Photos handles content and metadata from iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support ", will also not be migrated to Photos correctly as pointed out by the user daiya49, see this discussion: Re: Smart Albums lost keyword criteria when imported from iPhoto to Photos. Smart albums: See: How Photos displays Smart Albums from iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support Smart albums using keyword rules "keyword start with. Since Photos does not have events, smart albums based on events will not be transferred to Photos. If you need to save descriptions of your albums or events, copy them to the description field of the photos in the albums. Descriptions of Albums: Albums and events will be transferred as albums, but Photos has no description field for the albums. Later it might be difficult to correct them. It is important to check the dates and locations for consistency, before you migrate. Moments: Photos does not have events, but structures the library by Moments and Collections (Photos 1 to Photos 4) or Months and Days (Photos 5), which are created automatically, based on the locations and capture dates. (or use later an AppleScript: Script: Changing the Title to the Filename without Extension) Photos 4.0 and Photos 5.0 can show the filenames below the thumbnails, but you cannot copy and paste them there, only titles. If you want to see the filenames below the thumbnails in Photos like in iPhoto, batch change the titles to the filenames, while you are still running iPhoto. Most importantly, Photos 1 to Photos 3 does not use the filenames as default titles, only titles in the title field. Batch changing in Photos is very limited. If you need to batch change titles or captions, do it in iPhoto, while you can. Metadata - Titles: The batch changing support is still not as good as in iPhoto. In Photos you will have to fall back on an AppleScript ( Script: Copy GPS tags from one Photo to Other Photos). If you have photos in your iPhoto Library, that do not yet have GPS locations assigned, add the locations while your library is still in iPhoto. The maps are not detailed enough to position the pins correctly, you cannot name places, and you cannot copy locations from one photo and paste the locations onto other photos. Metadata - Places: The new Photos.app does not support geotagging as well as iPhoto. Use only locally mounted volumes for the Photos Library: Just like iPhoto or Aperture, the Photos Library cannot be stored in a Cloud storage like Drop Box, iCloud Drive, Google Drive ( Updating from iPhoto to Photos for OS X - Apple Support). Even if you do not want to use iCloud Photo Library, the migration will only work on a correctly formatted drive. 
Move your iPhoto Library to a correctly formatted locally mounted volume, if necessary. If you are planning to use the library with iCloud Photo Library, the drive must be formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled). Photos may have problems accessing the drive, if it is on a network volume and not locally mounted. Prepare the volume: If your iPhoto Library is not in your Pictures folder, but on an external drive, check the drive for compatibility.Repair the permissions, and repair the database. Prepare the library: Ensure that your iPhoto Library has no issues before the migration.Make a Time Machine backup or a bootable clone.
