Unlinked references in same file

[rynoV]

Brief Abstract

Currently unlinked references don't work across nodes in the same file.

Long Description

This is due to this line:

org-roam/org-roam-mode.el

Line 688 in 5c06471

(not (file-equal-p (org-roam-node-file node) f))

I like to keep many nodes in the same file, so it would be great if unlinked references could work for this use case.

Proposed Implementation (if any)

This seems to work for me:

Thank you so much for providing the diff file. This was a major bug for my usecase, I write documents in long form and this solved a huge problem. I patched my files and now org-roam-buffer behaves as it should.
