I read an info message during the completion of 'links' concepts that "links can be absolute or relative", what does it mean?
Sorry if you found my grammar or vocab terrible.

Could it have meant link path? if so then ...
● A link with absolute path consists of complete location of the resource, including the protocol, domain, down to subdirectories, and eventually the resource.
Example:
https://www.google.com/search
A complete path, with protocol, domain and subdirectory "search"
● A relative path is a path that also points to the resource, the difference is, rather than using a complete path (with protocol, domain etc.) relative path uses the current resource's location as the base location.
Example:
<img src="images/bg.png">
Points to an image "bg.png" in a subdirectory "images" in current location (document location)
