I agree with Zacl: the autocompletion of relative links is a great disadvantage because it makes the notebooks non-portable between machines.
In my case I create a relative link using "Ctrl+L" to, let's say, ../../../mypdfs/file.pdf
And Zim autocompletes to the full path when I save the link, let's say /some/absolute/path/myspdfs/file.pdf
I have found an awkward provisional solution: to edit the link in the source text
That is, to change
[[/some/absolute/path/myspdfs|my_link_text]]
into
[[../../../mypdfs/file.pdf|my_link_text]]
This solution works, however, if you could deactivate the automatic autocompletion of relative paths it would be perfect.
Blessings!
