How to find files with find tool in system path ($PATH)? Or alternatively, How to specify starting-point directory for find as an expression?

For example, I want to find all symlinks that reference to particular binary in all directories that belong to system $PATH. This can be successfully achieved with manual specification of all directories:

sudo find ~/bin /home/samokat/.local/bin /home/samokat/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /sbin /bin /snap/bin -lname /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice

But when I'm trying to use command with $PATH expansion:

sudo find echo $PATH | tr ':' ' ' -lname /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice

I get error and result:

find: ‘~/bin’: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/soffice.link-to-openoffice-bak

echo $PATH | tr ':' ' '

outputs correct path:

~/bin /home/samokat/.local/bin /home/samokat/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /sbin /bin /snap/bin

The following also are not working:

sudo find echo $PATH | tr ':' ' ' | xargs -lname /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice
sudo find { echo $PATH | tr ':' ' ' | xargs } -lname /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice
sudo find eval "echo $PATH | tr ':' ' ' | xargs" -lname /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice
echo $PATH | tr ':' ' ' | xargs | sudo find -lname /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice  # runs some long computation

How to pass starting point directories as calculable parameter to find? Does this possible?
