Allow linking to exercises in the same repo
It would be nice to be able to link to an other exercise in a repo.
I was thinking of something like this:
Write a `goal` predicate for an
[iterative deepning](exercise:/SearchAlgorithms/ItterDepth)
algorithm that ...
This link should refer to the exercise that is at /SearchAlgorithms/ItterDepth as seen from the root of the current repository:
- in the scope current course if is in one of the series
- just the exercise page if it is not in the course
I don't know what should happen with
[iterative deepning](exercise:/SearchAlgorithms/ItterDepth/meta)[iterative deepning](exercise:SearchAlgorithms/ItterDepth)[iterative deepning](exercise:../ItterDepth)[iterative deepning](exercise:/NonExisting/Path)

How about referring by exercise token? This is the only cross-instance identifier we have.
Though [iterative deepning](exercise:1poiu23w0f98poq2iu1209384) is a bit ugly.

Looking up exercise with token 1poiu23w0f98poq2iu1209384 is equally costly to looing up exercise with path /SearchAlgorithms/ItterDepth. Both string comparisons of relatively short size in the database. (I think)

Paths are more natural, and we don't want people to ascribe any meaning to the tokens, so if/when this is implemented I'm definitely a proponent of the using the path as the identifier (both are unique (within the repo)). This does prevent inter-repo links, but those seem less useful to me anyway.

Inter-repo links will always be possible using a plain URL (as is done now). This suggestion is only an additional way to included references to other exercises.

@JoFAM We have no way to implement this without a significant refactor of how Dodona works, so don't expect this any time soon.
