Problem with hyperlinks and anchors

Problem with hyperlinks and anchors, I'm trying to link an object to a website using anchors, every time I create a hyperlink it adds at the end the "\", changing the syntaxis and making the hyperlink broken. the hyperlink syntax in the hyperlink base is https://www.website.com/index.html# the anchor is 001, the link is supposed to be: https://www.website.com/index.html#001 instead it shows https://www.website.com/index.html#/001 invalidating the link,

Known issue, no fix.

Feel free to report the problem to Autodesk here and maybe it will get fixed in future versions (I did not test in the current LT2025 release) https://www.autodesk.com/company/contact-us/product-feedback

Is there a way around it? I used LT2025 with the hope it was my settings, and previously I made it work somehow using the "/" as part of my anchor but the other software I use to create the website rejects the use of any symbols or numbers as initial characters for the anchor. Any ideas on how to make it work from the Autocad, the only way right now is to modify each link using AttachURL and pasting manually the whole URL including the anchor, could be modified using an Autolisp script? Do you know of any that works?

If you have access to the full version of AutoCAD it seems to work on that

We dont have access to the full version, the needs of our company are completely fulfilled with the LT version, I created a lisp script that use the attachurl and the hyperlinkbase to provide the hyperlink correctly, couldnt figure how to attach a value designation from the block to automate the whole process, thank you for your answers.
