How to go up one directory using Markdown

Question

Within the markdown document, what is the proper syntax to go up one directory and then choose the file? It will be rendered online, so would html ../ be appropriate to put in the markdown syntax?
such as [some_description]andthen(../file_name.md)
I had to add the "and then" to get it to show up on stack....

Links work the same way in Markdown as they do in HTML. A relative path would work the same way.

[I'm a relative reference to a repository file](../blob/master/LICENSE)
