The exporter uses the extension to figure out whether the location
being linked to is an image.  There is no extension here, so it
assumes you’re linking to a normal page.  Here are a few of the
relevant bits:

,----[ C-h v org-export-html-inline-image-extensions RET ]
| org-export-html-inline-image-extensions is a variable defined in
`org-html.el'.
| Its value is ("png" "jpeg" "jpg" "gif" "svg")
|
|
| Documentation:
| Extensions of image files that can be inlined into HTML.
|
| You can customize this variable.
`----

,----[ C-h f org-file-image-p RET ]
| org-file-image-p is a compiled Lisp function in `org.el'.
|
| (org-file-image-p FILE &optional EXTENSIONS)
|
| Return non-nil if FILE is an image.
`----

I think you’d need to majorly rejigger them to make Org recognize your
link as an image.
