If a release note has a link to the API docs there is an issue as to what link to add as the final location of the docs will not be active until GA. For example:

https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8372204

we have the EA docs link:

https://download.java.net/java/early_access/jdk26/docs/api/java.base/javax/crypto/spec/HPKEParameterSpec.html

which will need to be updated to:

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/26/docs/api/java.base/javax/crypto/spec/HPKEParameterSpec.html

for the GA version of the release notes.

Proposal is to have the release note contain the GA link and while generating the EA notes detect the links and replace them with the EA prefix. This way there is update the note at the end of the release.
