Suggestion: Let us use relative paths for hyperlinks

For example, in a blog post, when I want to add a hyperlink which links to category "SEO", I currently have to specify an absolute path "http://myfirstwebsite.weebly.com/home/category/seo" for that hyperlink.

The trouble appears if I decide to change my site URL from ""http://myfirstwebsite.weebly.com/" to "http://mysecondwebsite.weebly.com" in the future because I will have to go back to that blog post and manually change the site URL in the path of that hyperlink. It becomes even more troublesome if there are hundreds of such hyperlinks to handle.

Wouldn't it be convenient if we can specify relative path like "/home/category/seo" for our hyperlinks so that we don't have to worry about the path issue if we decide to change our site URLs in the future?
