Allow ~ in file:/// links

Use case or problem

Linking to files in the home directory on OSX should be possible without specifying the user name (for link stability etc.). User names may change, obsidian is forever…

  • [test](file:////Users/elmsfeuer/Documents) ← works
  • [test](file:///~/Documents) ← does not work, please support

Proposed solution

Add support for ~ = $HOME

Current workaround (optional)

Deep link with full path or describe where all these other files may live.

Linux, too, please (if possible). Same structure, ~ = $HOME.
