             Summary: [Docs] Ensure links to non-sphinx parts of the docs are relative instead of absolute
                 Key: ARROW-14496
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-14496
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Documentation
            Reporter: Joris Van den Bossche


Currently we have some hardcoded links in the sphinx toctree to other parts of the docs (eg to <https://arrow.apache.org/docs/c_glib/, or https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/). 

That means that for the versioned docs, those links still are absolute links, and not pointing to the versioned ones. 

For those parts of the docs that we include in the versioning (so those that are hosted in the github pages, which is the case for C/GLib, js and R, and not the case for C#, Go, Rust, Julia, Matlab and Ruby), we should see if we can trick sphinx in creating a relative url (which in principle only is possible for internal links to another part of the sphinx docs).

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27979803/external-relative-link-in-sphinx-toctree-directive has some potential ideas
