[AEMaaCS] Generate Canonical URL with absolute URL

Question

We have a requirement to have Canonical URL displayed as absolute URL's. We are using AEMaaCS and are using the latest version of page (v3). The default behavior is generating a relative URL. E.g <link rel="canonical" href=" /content/<siteName>/us/en/<pagename>.html"/>

I can see from wknd.site it generates absolute URL's, is there any configuration to support generating canonical URL's with absolute URL's ?

I tried setting up the domain mapping with CQ Link Externalizer (com.day.cq.commons.impl.ExternalizerImpl) but that did not work.

I can override the externalize method of SitemapLinkExternalizer class to generate the absolute URL, but I wanted to confirm the page core component does not support absolute URL generation by default before i write the custom code. Wknd site has this working, so i am not sure if i am missing a step.

Appreciate any pointers if you have solved this before.

As far as I remember, it is not available OOTB. You can certainly do the customization for the same in the template.
