Markdown links should be able to be referenced using relative root urls

Correct me if I'm wrong, right now we can have links relative to the current directory (./) or the parent one (../). I'd like to see this expand and be able to link to everything relative to the project's root directory.

For example, from org/project/doc/ci/api/permissions/README.md I should be able to have a link like:

[link](/doc/README.md)

This would be awesome as it would tremendously help me writing documentation.

Also I believe #2707 (closed) should be fixed first.

That would be nice for everyone, I think.

@axil Is this better now?

@rspeicher yeap :)
