NuxtLinkLocale behaves differently than NuxtLink for external links

Environment

• Operating System: Linux
• Node Version: v16.20.0
• Nuxt Version: 3.6.5
• Nitro Version: 2.5.2
• Package Manager: [email protected]
• Builder: vite
• User Config: extends, i18n
• Runtime Modules: -

Reproduction

<NuxtLink to="http://localhost:8080/">
  NuxtLink http://localhost:8080/
</NuxtLink>
<NuxtLinkLocale to="http://localhost:8080/">
  NuxtLinkLocale http://localhost:8080/
</NuxtLinkLocale>

Describe the bug

I would also expect NuxtLinkLocale to behave like NuxtLink for an external link and not simply redirect to '/'. Otherwise you would have to build an extra component that checks if it is an external link and then uses NuxtLink or NuxtLinkLocale (and the whole point of NuxtLinkLocale was that you don't have to build your own component).

Output:

<a href="http://localhost:8080/" rel="noopener noreferrer">
  NuxtLink http://localhost:8080/
</a>
<a aria-current="page" href="/" class="router-link-active router-link-exact-active">
  NuxtLinkLocale http://localhost:8080/
</a>
