goto_file on selection does not work on relative paths only absolute paths

[scubacabra]

Summary

in an alacritty config i am importing files

import = [
  "~/.config/alacritty/catppuccin-frappe.toml"
]

it appears goto_file does not work with relative paths, only absolute ones

Reproduction Steps

I tried selecting the relative file inside the quotes ~/.config/alacritty/catppuccin-frappe.tomland pressing gf - the binding for goto_file

I expected to see the file opened in a helix buffer

Instead, it was just a blank buffer. something went wrong silently, nothing was in the log file i created with hx --log

i changed the relative file to an absolute file /Users/jacobono/.config/alacritty/catppuccin-frappe.toml

i selected inside the quotes and used the same binding and that file opened in a buffer
