📄 Description

Example render code for #732.

This will transform any link that has the HTML code like the following code block to the pages actual URL using page->getUrl(): <a <a title="Test Link" href="{{@page-id}}">Link Text</a>

Added support for Chapters and Books as well.
Chapters: <a <a title="Test Link" href="{{{@chapter-id}}}">Link Text</a>
Books: <a <a title="Test Link" href="{{{{@book-id}}}}">Link Text</a>

Incomplete Solution
This only handles the page rendering. The editors and link selection screens will not support this (yet). I modified the page's html in the database for testing the render functionality.

This also does not currently have a way to handle links to Chapters/Books, but I just wanted to put out a proof of concept.
