Complete local files for links and urls

[jo-so]

Expected Behavior

Helpful would be, if I could press TAB on the URL prompt of URLs and I would get a suggestion of local files. I'm editing my website with markdown and linking to other pages or images would be much easier with tab completion.

Actual Behavior

Actually, I don't use the helper functions, but type ![TEXT]() and call my helper function to insert a filename.

company-mode supports file completion. Please check it. You can also use hippie-expand for file completion instead, hippie-expand is a built-in package.

I think that a helper function like C-c C-i to local paths would be helpful as well. It seems that company-files doesn't complete paths when it's between parenthesis.

Pinging this issue as org-mode supports this directly in the link dialog (markdown-mode seems suggests only files, not directories in pwd)

Would love to see this as well. Currently it's a bit of an awkward dance by first inserting the path, coping it and then pasting it into the prompt.
