Steps to Reproduce:

Use minimal attached files structure: example.zip

1. You will need to the following directories structure

├── index_outside_of_working_dir.js
└── vscode-working-directory
    ├── error.log
    └── index.js

2. The content of both .js files is the same and actually, doesn't matter for demonstration:

function greet(){
  return "Hello, World!";
}

3. The content of error.log should be:

Error: Some error outsie of project's working directory
    at greet (file:///Users/User/Documents/sandboxes/vscode-problem/index_outside_of_working_dir.js:2:10) <--- attempts to create new file with numbers in it's name ❌
    at greet (file:///Users/User/Documents/sandboxes/vscode-problem/index_outside_of_working_dir.js:2) <--- attempts to create new file with numbers in it's name ❌
    at greet (file:///Users/User/Documents/sandboxes/vscode-problem/index_outside_of_working_dir.js) <---- no problems ✅

Error: Some error within working directory
    at greet (file:///Users/User/Documents/sandboxes/vscode-problem/vscode-working-directory/index.js:2:10) <---- no problems ✅
    at greet (file:///Users/User/Documents/sandboxes/vscode-problem/vscode-working-directory/index.js:2) <---- no problems ✅
    at greet (file:///Users/User/Documents/sandboxes/vscode-problem/vscode-working-directory/index.js) <---- no problems ✅

Replace /Users/User/Documents/sandboxes/vscode-problem/ with your own absolute path

4. Open vscode-working-directory in vscode and then open error.log. "Open link" action will fail to navigate to .js file outside of currently opened directory if there are also line numbers following the absolute path of the file ❌ Instead, vscode will offer to create not existing .js file with line numbers in its name.
5. Now open an upper directory (/vscode-problem) in vscode and the problem is gone, because now index_outside_of_working_dir.js belongs to currently opened directory ✅
