No
Describe the solution you'd like
Creating a symlink called README.md in the repository root (that points to another markdown file) should render a preview on the repository web page.
At the moment, it only displays the name of the symlink in the preview pane.
See screenshot below.
On Github a README symlink to a markdown file will render it on the page.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Can't think of any right now.
