Page links only render the last segment of a hierarchy

What Happened?

In the DB version a link to a page inside a hierarchy renders only the last segment. [[Superhuman/Docs]] shows as Docs, and [[Superhuman/Billing/Invoices]] shows as Invoices. There is no way to turn this off.

It looks like only rendering the last segment is a regression based on the following:

• logseq/db-test#166 asked for the hierarchy to be shown inline, and was closed as fixed on the grounds that "namespaced pages do show their full path in page references".
• logseq/db-test#698 reports that they don't. That still matches what I see on 2.0.1.
• #12277 asks the same thing and hasn't been answered.

Reproduce the Bug

1. In a DB graph, type [[Superhuman/Docs into a block.
2. Pick "New page Superhuman/Docs" from the autocomplete.
3. Press Escape to leave the block.
4. The link renders as Docs. Clicking back into the block shows its text is now [[Docs]] too.
5. Repeat with [[Superhuman/Billing/Invoices]], which renders as Invoices.

Expected Behavior

An option to render the full path — Superhuman/Docs and Superhuman/Billing/Invoices — while leaving the stored block text alone.

The shape I'd suggest: a display-only setting, off by default, :ui/show-hierarchy in config.edn with a toggle under Settings → Editor. When it's on, page links and tags show the full path instead of the last segment. Nothing is written to the page — only the rendered label changes, and the block still holds the same text when edited.

Happy to adjust the shape — including dropping the Settings toggle and shipping only the config.edn key — if that fits the direction better.

Screenshots

Two links, both inside the Superhuman hierarchy, rendering as just Docs and Invoices:

An implementation is ready in #13015.

Start by reproducing the DB-graph steps with [[Superhuman/Docs]] and [[Superhuman/Billing/Invoices]], then inspect the page-link and tag rendering path and the Editor settings entry point. Done means a display-only option shows full hierarchy paths, preserves the stored block text, and covers both links and tags without changing their editable content.
