Description
Link to the code that reproduces this issue
https://github.com/tklepzig/nextjs-link-with-fragment
To Reproduce
- npm i
- npm run dev
- Navigate to http://localhost:3000/42/subpage
- Click some of the links and check their desired target (e.g. the browser tooltip at the bottom of the page) with the URL which is routed to after clicking the link.
Current vs. Expected behavior
Expected: Several links are rendered on this page, all of them contain an URL fragment.
I expect clicking on all of these links I end up on a page with a fragment in the URL.
Observation: While some of them work, two links targeting another page by using a relative URL, which include a dynamic route don't have the fragment on the URL after routing. Additionally, for a href which does not contain a dynamic route the fragment is missing after routing as well if the link contains a slash before the hash char.

Research direction
Start with the reproduction repository at https://github.com/tklepzig/nextjs-link-with-fragment. Run npm i and npm run dev, then visit /42/subpage and compare the relative links that target dynamic routes with the expected URL fragments. Done means the affected links preserve their fragments after client-side navigation in next dev and next start.
