RichText LinksBehavior - IllegalArgumentException: relPath is not a relative path

Reproducible steps:

• Create a document in CMS UI
• Edit a RichText field
• Add an external link on a text
• Select "Other" in link type and enter something starting with '/' like '/a/b/c' in the link.
• Then, when saving, it throws an exception even if it is saved.
• If you try to open the document, then it doesn't open and it throws an exception like the following:
