Perhaps you are talking about Rule 8 of destination address selection:
Rule 8: Prefer smaller scope.
If Scope(DA) < Scope(DB), then prefer DA. Similarly, if Scope(DA) >
Scope(DB), then prefer DB.
This rule may be sometimes controversial, but I personally think it is
reasonable, because we can (in theory) expect better reachability for
a smaller scope of destinations. This is especially true for a
link-local destination where we don't need L3 routing.
