New feature: throw Route.redirect()

[KubaJastrz]

Instead of the regular throw redirect() where you need to figure out the absolute path and all the required search params, I propose to add a new functionality for Route, which would resolve paths relatively from our Route. Similar vibes to Route.navigate() helper function accessible from the route component.

Example:

export const Route = createFileRoute('/foo/bar')({
	beforeLoad: () => {
		throw Route.redirect({
			to: '../baz',
			search: (prevSearch) => ({ ...prevSearch, and: 'more' }),
		})
	},
	loader: () => {
		throw Route.redirect({
			to: 'qux',
			search: true,
		})
	},
})

not against it, but what does this do more than just setting the from?

[KubaJastrz]

Huh, I suppose it doesn't do much else. I was looking for something that would allow me to pass search: fn or search: true, but it looks like passing from: Route.fullPath does the trick! Thanks for the tip.

so probably not worth to add this then
