include shortcode ignores project absolute path ("/") when called from a file inside a "_folder".

[phy-che]

Bug description

Hi,

Steps to reproduce

My folder structure:
_lessons
_exercises
articles

In "articles" I have several includes like:
{{< include "/_lessons/lesson1.qmd" >}}
{{< include "/_exercise/exercise1.qmd" >}}

This works like a charm. Include files are perfectly found.

BUT...

Problem: include does not work when I call them from a file inside "_lessons".
Example: in file _lessons/lesson2.qmd:
{{< include "/_exercise/exercise1.qmd" >}}

Actual behavior

The compiler/interpreter understand that the path is "_lessons/_exercise/exercise1.qmd" although I use "/" sign in the path. Therefore the file is not found.

This only happens in includes called inside files inside _folders.
Something related to the _folders makes this root path crashes and be ignored.

Expected behavior

I expect that the compiler understand that "/" inside include shortcode (wherever it is, even in "_folders") is understood as the project root.
