Make content links in text artifacts configuration aware in the same way as trace links

When using the “ctrl+space” feature to find artifacts that are glossary terms in other components’ configurations in the same global configuration, the content link created by the tool refers to the initial stream of the component, rather than the configuration specified by the current global configuration.

This behaviour is inconsistent with the behaviour of the "glossary term search feature" triggered when pressing "ctrl+space"; by selecting "Search other components" the user is guided to add artifacts that are glossary terms in other components' configurations, but the URL selected is always the one from the initial stream. If the initial stream is used for only component properties and holds no artifacts, this will cause the content link to not work properly.

This means that the if a glossary term artifact is found in a sub-stream of the initial stream, the "glossary term search feature" finds it, but when the content link is created in the text field of the primary text of the artifact, neither the rich hover nor clicking the link will work.

Please see attached presentation for a step by step illustration of the issue.
