This is not what Org HTML export does. Only relative links are affected
by `org-html-link-use-abs-url':
Documentation
Should we prepend relative links with HTML_LINK_HOME?
Absolute links always remain absolute.

May you please elaborate? How is hyperdrive directory different from
local directory?

:follow functions are passed both path and search option.
