"editor.links": true => File not found error with absolute href paths

[pdesjardins90]

In an HTML file, when clicking a link with an absolute href to a file in my project, I get this error: 'Impossible to open my-linked-file.html' File not found: (file:///file:/Users/MyUsername/Documents/MyProject/my-linked-file-name.html)

This started happening immediately after I updated vscode to 1.19. It doesn't happen with a relative path.

• VSCode Version: 1.19.0
• OS Version: macOS 10.13.1

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Have a with an absolute href: href="/src/my-linked-file.html"
2. Click it, see the error
3. Change it to a relative path: href="my-linked-file.html"
4. Click it, you're redirected to the file with no error
