FR: option to include internal HTML links in the graph

[kazerniel]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm building websites in Jekyll via markdown files. I find Foam's graph useful for visualising links and orphan files between the pages. But my markdown files contain some HTML code for the cases where markdown's formatting options are not sufficient.

Unfortunately when I link to other notes via HTML code inside markdown files, these don't show up on the graph, so it looks like I have a lot more orphan files than I actually do, and I can't see which ones are actually unlinked.

Describe the solution you'd like

A toggle in the graph settings to include HTML links in the format of <a href="clock">clock</a> (so no file extension in the link target).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Can't really think of anything.

I like the idea of including parsing of html links inside Foam, as markdown supports html we should support it too for links.
Where I struggle is the "without extension" part, as this is specific to your publishing framework and I don't want to leak that type of detail in Foam itself. This to me feels more like an export/publishing step rather than something that Foam should support out of the box.
I am happy to hear reasons to think about this in a different way, let me know

Understandable!

I'm not sure about how others use these frameworks, but I started needing this feature since I started contributing on an existing Jekyll site where the internal links don't use file extensions, so it would be helpful to be able to see the page connections while I'm working on the content, not just after the final site-building step.
