sure, but to be annoyingly pedantic that kind of link is root relative, not
absolute.  absolute would include the domain name as well.  also, he didn't
actually say he couldn't, he asked how to do it without using them:

      Is there a way to get both things at the same
      time except for using abosolute links?

maybe we need to find out what nickolay meant when he used the term
"absolute links" -- nickolay?

<tip type="links" author=".jeff">

not sure what this difference is between relative, absolute, and root
relative links are and when it's best to use each kind?  here's a great
primer on the topic:
