Description
Steps to reproduce
- A table with a text column (rich markodwn text)
- Create a record. In the text field, add a link (use the link icon), select link to a file, and select a file.
Expected behavior
When clicking on the generated link, having access to the corresponding file
Actual behavior
The current link contains the relative to a file, i.e. the ULR part following ?dir= in the files app. However, when clicking on it from the table view, this relative path doesn't work.
It would be better if the markdown editor where inserting an internal link rather than this relative path.
I do not know if it should be fixed here in Tables or in the markdown editor app.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the Tables app using a rich markdown text column and a file link, then inspect the generated URL from the table view. Determine whether the fix belongs in Tables or the markdown editor; done means clicking the inserted link opens the corresponding file when the user has access.
