Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

Create a page with a File that links to an interwiki page, for example [[File:Fairychapeltoun.JPG|link=wikiquote:Fairies]], or go to a test page
Try clicking the image in the android app

What happens?:
The link doesn't open, instead it says the page doesn't exist.

What should have happened instead?:
It should open the correct wiki page in the app or open it in an external browser, like happens when using regular links ([[wikiquote:Fairies]]), or when using non "interwiki" links in images.

Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
Android app 2.7.50442-beta-2023-05-08

This looks like a question for Content Transform and/or Parsoid.
If we look at the test page as rendered by Parsoid, we see that the link to Wikiquote was stripped away and replaced by a "relative" link in the form of ./wikiquote:Fairies
https://he.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/html/%D7%9E%D7%A9%D7%AA%D7%9E%D7%A9:%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%95%D7%9C%D7%A1_%D7%A4%D7%9C%D7%9E%D7%9C%2Ftest_file_links

Compare this with mobile web, where the link is the fully-qualified link to Wikiquote:
https://he.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%9E%D7%A9%D7%AA%D7%9E%D7%A9:%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%95%D7%9C%D7%A1_%D7%A4%D7%9C%D7%9E%D7%9C/test_file_links
