Describe the bug
Links within a page (like #bkmrk-whatever-the-header-is) still work, but links to other pages within the wiki link to the original URL on the hosted wiki.

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Export a book as HTML
Open HTML file
Click on a link to a different page
Get redirected to the original wiki

Expected behavior
A link in the downloaded HTML points to https://wiki.domain.com/books/my-book-name/page/my-lage-name#bkmrk-quest-progression instead of #bkmrk-quest-progression

I can post a sanitized example if you'd like.

Your Configuration (please complete the following information):

Exact BookStack Version (Found in settings): v21.05.3
Hosting Method (Nginx/Apache/Docker): Docker

Here's an example (Github won't let me upload HTML files)

It also seems to happen with PDFs as well.

Are there any updates on this? This bug makes exporting some content really useless since I mostly reference to other pages of the same book and without these internal links some content is pretty much unreadable.

It would be nice to use links within the document that behave like the links in the table of contents. For example, it is useful to refer to a different section with a link that would take you there within the same exported document.
