Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a public share with a lot of folders. I want to to list some important one within the share in a README.md that should trigger the same navigation as clicking on the directory itself.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a "File link" within the public share base, that can target directories under the current directory.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I can list all needed file as external links, but they opened first in preview, then in a new tab, loading a new page, instead of just navigating.

I've tried relative link, but they opened as externals. I've even tried id links, with just #id192871, but it's also considered as external.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the README.md links in a public share, including relative directory links and #id links, and trace how those links are classified. Done means a link targeting a directory under the current share uses the same in-place navigation as clicking that directory instead of opening a preview or external page.
