Gatsby: [gatsby-remark-catch-link] doesn't redirect properly if someone links to a full URL on the same site

If you visit the site showcase blog post at https://next.gatsbyjs.org/blog/2018-07-20-why-we-built-the-site-showcase/ and try to click on the showcase link, it doesn't work. We should update gatsby-remark-catch-links so it can handle full URLs pointing to the same domain correctly.

@KyleAMathews this thread has been inactive for some days, so I went ahead and pushed a PR. Please review.

I am still having this issue on the latest beta version of Gatsby and gatsby-plugin-catch-links. The internal links from the tableOfContents field in my markdownRemark queries do not get intercepted and are broken.

[chasemccoy]

Should we reopen this issue, or should I file a new one?

Never mind, looks like it got fixed in #6990

Found a similar issue in Gatsby docs https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/gatsby-cli/#gatsby-cli The Gatsby Starters link renders a 404 page. The original link specified is https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/gatsby-starters/ while the same entered in browser redirects to https://www.gatsbyjs.org/starters/?v=2
