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.

in another software it's possible to use:
p?ap_id@server
c?conf@server
u?user@server
where this local links will be added to URI ending with trailing /

i.e. https://engine.tld/application/objtype/NNNNNID/
will be completed with
https://localserver.tld/applicationname/objtype/NNNNNID/p?ap_id@remoteserver.tld
https://localserver.tld/applicationname/objtype/NNNNNID/c?conf@remoteserver.tld
https://localserver.tld/applicationname/objtype/NNNNNID/u?user@remoteserver.tld

This way the local links will allow to setup redirects to any type of objects.
(and without the special syntax and special parsing)

https://localserver.tld/applicationname/objtype/NNNNNID/=ap_id@remoteserver.tld
https://localserver.tld/applicationname/objtype/NNNNNID/[!conf@remoteserver.tld](/c/conf@remoteserver.tld)
https://localserver.tld/applicationname/objtype/NNNNNID/user@remoteserver.tld

and distinguish them with regular expressions at reverse proxy...
