[JSS 22 Vue] RichText routeHandler drops query string from internal links during SPA navigation

[tomasz-wieclaw-wttech]

Describe the Bug

The RichText component's routeHandler method builds the navigation destination using only target.pathname and target.hash, omitting target.search. Internal links with query parameters lose their query string during client-side routing.

const destination = target.hash ? `${target.pathname}${target.hash}` : target.pathname;

To Reproduce

1. Add an internal link with query parameters to a Rich Text field in Sitecore, e.g. /my-page?type=foo&section=bar
2. Render it using the Rich Text component in a Vue 3 JSS app
3. Click the link
4. The app navigates to /my-page and query parameters are stripped

Expected Behavior

The full URL including query string should be preserved during SPA routing

Possible Fix

Include target.search alongside with the target.hash and target.pathname
