Description
Given this code:
struct Foo;
/// Like [`Foo`] but better.
struct Bar;
fn main() {
let x = Ba$0r;
}
A hover produces:
Foo when clicked, links to: https://docs.rs/rust_playground/*/rust_playground/struct.Foo.html
I think it should behave like these links:
and just navigate you to the relevant item in the editor.

Research direction
Reproduce the Rust example and inspect the hover tooltip and its Foo link. Trace how the documentation link is generated; done means clicking Foo navigates to the relevant item in the editor instead of the nonsensical docs.rs page.
