Relative file link detection in log files

[Metalit]

When viewing .log files in the editor, absolute file paths will be detected as links, but not relative paths (to either the workspace root or the opened file). Notably this is different in the terminal, where relative paths are clickable without issue, and it would be useful if the detection in .log files was similarly flexible.

I am aware that you can insert file:// at the start and it will be detected in a link, but no log file is going to have this by default, and it doesn't work with line/column numbers regardless.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.96.4
• OS Version: Windows 11 10.0.22621

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a .log file
2. Type the relative path and absolute path of a file in the workspace
3. The absolute path will be highlighted and clickable, but not the relative path
