Org mode files (.org) that contain abbreviated links in a setup file:

https://orgmode.org/manual/Link-Abbreviations.html

https://orgmode.org/manual/In_002dbuffer-Settings.html

Are rendered to relative links to the containing repository and not to the link target.

For example, assuming this setupfile:

LINK: google https://google.com

And this org file:

#+SETUPFILE: links.org

[[google][reference to google]]

The rendered file link points to the local repository and not the link target.
