No inclusion of assets in frontmatter of markdown file and js config

[EthanAndreas]

Describe the bug

When you define a link to an image in frontmatter or in config.js, the file is note copy in the dist folder, whereas for a link in the markdown file directly it works, also when you define a public folder with your pictures it copy the content of the folder directly in dist folder and not in a public folder in dist folder.

Reproduction

at this in a makdown file that represents the home page :
features:

• icon:
  src: /public/compiler.png
  create a public folder in docs with the image

and build the project

Expected behavior

it will be preferable if the content of public folder will be copy in a dist/public folder, because here you can just enter :
features:

• icon:
  src: compiler.png

but it is not very clear

System Info

also when you define a public folder with your pictures it copy the content of the folder directly in dist folder and not in a public folder in dist folder.

this is expected - https://vitejs.dev/guide/assets.html#the-public-directory

and content in frontmatter is considered string, that doesn't go through rollup. hence relative paths won't work there.
