Is there a way to make a link to a community of a foreign instance that opens on the instance of the user that clicks on it?

For example, I would like to make a link to !some_community@foo.com that, when a user of bar.com clicks on it, opens https://bar.com/c/some_community@foo.com instead of https://foo.com/c/some_community.

If it’s not possible, don’t you think it would be convenient?

    That’s what this does:

    [Some text here](/c/community@instance.here)
    

    Tap the ‘more’ skinny hamburger menu just above below this message to ‘view source’ of the below:

    blah blah blah links to asklemmy@lemmy.ml

    Actually…better, here is one for an instance that is neither yours or the one you posted into:

      Should these links work? I’m viewing this thread from Lemmy.ca and both give me a 404 error. When testing with jerboa, the app crashes
