Consider allowing bypassing the internal mint broken-links checker with links that reference OpenAPI spec pages that do not have MDX files generated locally

[novusnota]

Currently, if one specifies an URL in a MDX file to a route that:

• is present in the local OpenAPI .json specification file
• can be opened under the corresponding /api-reference/... page URL
• but does not have a corresponding MDX file for that API page generated

Then that route would still will be flagged as a broken link in the Mintlify's link-rot CI:

However, this might be undesired since introducing such files would make new changes in the spec harder — one would then have to update the spec AND all the files produced from that spec, removing old or obsolete ones.

An alternative solution would be to allow configuring a list of ignored paths, e.g., some option in docs.json or some separate .ignore-like file, which will be picked up both by the local mint CLI and by the link-rot CI job done by Mintlify. Then, people could ignore whatever glob or concrete paths to files that they want to ignore.

Instead of ignoring paths, you can allow ignoring certain links or link prefixes/globs. This can be even more useful.
