How to access pages without adding .HTML extention to the urls in AEM 6.3

I'm working in an AEM project and part of development we are accessing the content using http://localhost:4502/editor.html/content/xyz/en/app.html.

While navigating to another page it is redirecting me to http://localhost:4502/editor.html/content/xyz/en/inko-app (observe carefully the link is without .html extension) and in order to see the new webpage I had to add .html extension manually.

Is there anyway I can automate this only for development environment?

Versions used:
AEM: 6.3
build version :20170420

I have gone through Adding .html extension to page selected but it is not quite useful

The AEM default behaviour is to access pages with .html always. So your project seems to have configs or code that prevents this. I guess you are in preview mode? – Oliver Gebert
Yes, indeed, I am in Author mode and want to navigate in between pages without publisher instance – Gangadhar JANNU
Sure, but - just to get things right on my end - are you in edit mode or iin preview mode on your author instance? I am asking because links should not be clickable if you open a page in edit mode. Can you check if there really is a redirect or if the link is pointing directly to the target url (without suffix)? – Oliver Gebert

@GangadharJannu, of course you can do, have you thought of writing Sling rewriter which will be applicable to development server? – Pakira

Can you check if in your sightly or java where you are declaring the page path, have you added .html as extension or not?.

For exmaple :

In your sightly if you are getting page path as "${currentPage.path}", the value will be without html, you need to explicitly add .html to "${currentPage.path}.html" like this.
