I have a /blog page with thousands of articles. Whenever i add a text block to a new article and try to link a local file uploaded in the article’s folder (using the link field), it returns the base route of the site. Is there a way to use the link field to link local files?

If you select the file option, you can link to any file in the site. Don’t quite understand what you are doing, works fine for me. Kirby inserts a permalink to the file

My problem is that i have to search throughout the system to find the file that i locally uploaded to the folder whereas in textarea i can use (file: cv.pdf) and reference it directly.

Yes, currently, it’s not possible to limit the files. This feature will come at a later point in time. You can upvote the feature on Nolt:
