Creating links in a canvas note does not follow the "New link format = Relative path to file" configuration option

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a new empty vault
  2. In the vault preference, set “Files & Links” → “New link format” to “Relative path to file”
  3. Create a folder testfolder in the vault
  4. Create a text file testfile in folder testfolder
  5. Create a canvas testcanvas in folder testfolder
  6. In the canvas, create a note, press [[ to launch the file selection, and select testfile.

Expected result

Since the file is in the same folder as the canvas, the link should be created as testfile.

Actual result

The link is created as testfolder/testfile

Additional information

This works correctly if we create the link from a text file. The bug only exists if we create the link from a canvas.

Still a problem in v1.7.7. Relative link preference works for notes in a canvas, but not cards.
