How to get Resource path of asset/prefab in code?

I was trying to use AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath and AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath to handle serialization of certain resources in my game (such as which sprite certain item will use, it serializes only a string of the resource path of the sprite and than gets it back when deserializing), but then I found out you can't use UnityEditor in build, so I've been using Resources.Load as a substitiute for LoadAssetAtPath, however I couldn't find a substitute for GetAssetPath after some searching. Sorry if an obvious question, but help would be appreciated.

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Runtime.Serialization;
 using UnityEditor;
 
 [System.Serializable][DataContract(Name = "Resource")]
 public class Resource<T> where T : UnityEngine.Object {
     [DataMember(Name = "ResourcePath")]
     private string resourcePath;
 
     public T resource {
         get {
             //return AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath(resourcePath, typeof(T)) as T;
             return Resources.Load(resourcePath, typeof(T)) as T;
         }
 
         set {
             //resourcePath = AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(value);
         }
     }
 
     public Resource (T resource) {
         this.resource = resource;
     }
 }

Code in question if it's of any use.
