Originally created by @marcelwgn on GitHub (Nov 19, 2023).

Currently, README.md and other files point the GitHub.com link whenever referencing another markdown file that is part of this repository. Other repositories such as the WinUI repository have chosen to use relative links which would also allow browsing the files on your local machine without a browser opening.

Would this be a welcome change to the documentation or should we keep things as is?

If the former is the case, I would gladly contribute these changes.
