Nginx , save location path in url after redirect

I have the following configuration for nginx

 location /discord/ {
   rewrite ^/discord/(.*) /$1 break;
   proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8086/;
   proxy_pass_header Cookie;
   port_in_redirect off;
   proxy_set_header Host $host;
  }

  location / {
   proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8089/;
   proxy_pass_header Cookie;
   proxy_set_header Host $host;
  }

As you can see , I have two servers running on the same domain The question is:

I have a link inside http://127.0.0.1:8086/ . Let's say I want to visit default page , I open this link http://domain/discord then I press the link in this page with path '/test' and I go to the following page http://domain/test but I want to visit this page http://domain/discord/test

How can I configure Nginx to add discord prefix to urls inside http://127.0.0.1:8086/ page

What you try to do here, is trying to make the rewrite rules redirect visitors to different location based on the previous path

This will need the web server understand the referer request header which can only be implemented from application layer (eg. PHP) but not server configurations in my understanding

An approach is to use the relative path on the links, for example:

Root document (rewritten by web server) under http://domain/discord/

Absolute path: href="/test" => http://domain/test

Relative path: href="./test" => http://domain/discord/test

You can change the location to rewrite in nginx in future and won't effect to relative paths

Root document (rewritten by web server) under http://domain/telegram/

Absolute path: href="/test" => http://domain/test

Relative path: href="./test" => http://domain/telegram/test

Add 'discord/test' as href to the link.
