Link query parameter not preserved

[mooreolith]

🐛 bug report

When specifying query paramters in an a-href attribute, the entire url parameter is stripped from the output file.

🎛 Configuration (.babelrc, package.json, cli command)

{
  "extends": ["@parcel/config-default"],
  "reporters": ["...", "parcel-reporter-static-files-copy"]
}

🤔 Expected Behavior

I expected a url's query parameters to be preserved as hard-coded.

😯 Current Behavior

Instead the url stays, but the query parameters are gone.

💁 Possible Solution

Keep an original version of the link.

🔦 Context

I am working on a web app, graph-editor, which has a /examples/ page. The graph-editor accepts query parameters for opening graphs and notebooks from url or localStorage. The links in the examples page look like this: .../graph-editor/?nburl=./examples/Example.ipynb. The example page does little more than hard link to some statically hosted example notebooks and graphs. For some reason, the query parameters don't show up in the output.

Sorry I don't have a code sample. This is not currently public, but if need be, I can try to recreate a minimal version.
