How to include/link internal html files

[puja-trivedi]

Describe the bug

context I want to include/link internal html files in my jupyter book.

expectation I do not want the html files to be downloaded when clicked on, I want them to open in a window. My expectation is to have an internal file reference with explicit text that is not downloadable.

bug When I list the files in my .md like this:* [File Name](DirX/file1.html), I noticed after jupyter-book build and deployment to gh-pages the html files are renamed and moved to a directory called _downloads and when I look at the deployed jupyter book, there is a download icon next to the html link. When I click on the file name, it is automatically downloaded rather than being opened in a window.

Reproduce the bug

explained above

I am looking for the same thing. I wouldn't necessarily care about it going to _downloads, but each time I generate the book, it uses different folders under _downloads, which means I can't provide permanent links!
