Relative links in markdown are broken

[sekoyo]

It's a shame that we can't make use of relative links that are supported by git hosts such as GitHub. On GitHub the following is valid:

[More Detailed Docs](docs/some-doc.md)

This also means links work on forked repos.

However, NPM will output this link as:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@my-org/docs/some-doc.md

Note that it omits the package name there, which is also a bug?

Instead of using homepage if present in package.json as the base path:

I've added your issue to our backlog. Thanks for reporting and we will investigate this.

@monishcm Did the engineering team find time to investigate? Would you have any update to share?

I thought this was just a bug and cannot believe this is actually the standard behavior on npm. How can relative links work anywhere else but on npm where I publish the package? Is there any official solution? It's madness!!! ;-)
