I saw that messages have different identifiers on different servers. What should I write in my text to make the hyperlink to work on all servers?

15 ≠ 49064481

The site https://lemmy.ml/ is unreachable from my computer because of government politics. I want to refer to the copy of message, which is downloaded into my instance. But it have a new ID in my DB.

I created this topic on my own instance. It knows original ID, but doesn't know ID-s in all other servers in federation.

I want to write a link in such a way, that lemmy substitute it with the reference to the local copy of message on lemmy.ml server.

But now lemmy just shows an original link to my server.

ooh like you can link it and people can click a link across the fediverse while remaining on their home instance. I would really like that as well.
