Describe the bug

In demo you can find navigation. There is /arts link. This "link" is not actual a semantic link, because some component library like element-plus make navigation without semantic links.

If you try navigate to /arts after generation you will got 404.

This is related to Nuxt's pre-render crawler. The $router links are not detected during page crawl.

I'm not quite sure we'd want to support this usage. We do however support auto-discovery of additional routes via adding them via the x-nitro-prerender header, and might consider adding a tree-shakeable composable to nuxt core to allow this to be easier. wdyt @pi0?
