Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to Site Builder > Content and Data > Web Content
2. Click on Structures tab
3. Add a new Structure and add a Link to Page to it, then save
4. Create a new Template for the structure and add the link to page markup, then save
5. Create a new Web Content with the Structure that was created in step 3, and select the home page for the link to page field
6. Publish the web content
7. Create a new widget page and add a web content display to it
8. Select the web content that was created in step 5
9. Inspect the element

Expected result: link should be relative i.e. /home

Actual result: link is absolute

 

This is more visible when navigating to: 127.0.0.1:8080 and inspecting the link, since it will be shown as localhost:8080
