Groq Query

import { groq } from "next-sanity";

export const postquery = groq`
*[_type == "post"] | order(_createdAt desc) {
  ...,
  category->,
    body[] {
      ...,
      markDefs[] {
        ...,
        _type == "internalLink" => {
          ...,
          "slug": @.reference-> slug
        }
      }
    }
}
`;

lib/sanity.js

export const PortableText = props => (
  <PortableTextComponent
    components={{
      marks: {
        internalLink: ({ children, value }) => {
          return (
            <Link href={`/post/${value.slug.current}`}>
              <a> {children}</a>
            </Link>
          );
        }
      }
    }}
    {...props}
  />
);

If you have created a portable text for react and you want to render an internal link from other post, you can use this code.
