Yes these are links but links to local resources. Image files that are in the same directory as my MD file.
As far as I know the current browser generation has support for DATA URI in the href attribute, so it's
technically feasible.

Links to external web sites and resources shouldn't be changed of course. But In my opinion one should here differentiate between:
href="images/mypic.png"
and
href="
https://www.wikipedia.de"
In the meantime I was able to implement this feature with the help of a javascript library, so I won't argue but I would have preferred a pure markdown solution.
