Internal Canvas hyperlinks in New Quiz instructions do not redirect upon course copy

Presumably due to the LTI tool nature of New Quizzes, when a user inserts a hyperlink in the "Instructions" field using the Virtual Text Editor, if that hyperlink happens to be an internal link to a Canvas page or other area within that course, that URL (which includes the unique Course ID) will not be adjusted when the course is copied/exported/imported. This will cause permissions errors when users in a copied version of the course attempt to access the hyperlink.
Also of note, the VTE in the New Quiz "Instructions" field does not offer a "Course Link" option.
Given the expectations brought about by Canvas functionality in other areas when a course gets copied/exported/imported (i.e. given that most internal URLs are adjusted with new course IDs when a course is copied), is this distinction within New Quizzes going to be addressed at some point? Or should we simply be actively discouraging users from attempting to insert internal Canvas course links via hyperlink in New Quiz instructions?
Thanks!
