Well, I just tried it in a github issue and it treated my link as a relative path, which honestly is worse than doing nothing at all.

In Joplin it treats my https-less link as a real link and goes to the right place.

Pasting the markdown into the WordPress editor also creates a relative link for the WP site.

I’m trying to think of where else I use Markdown.
