Is there a way to make instance-agnostic links? (lemmy.one)

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?

Edit 6 Cleaning up post.

You can link the community as a whole, but posts you can't. Solutions to posts are being discussed on Github

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1048

This is how to link communities.

[My text here](/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml)

For example if you want cat@lemmy.world you would type this

[Cat pics on Lemmy.world](/c/cat@lemmy.world)

Equals

Cat pics on Lemmy.world

Or aww@lemmy.ml you would type this.

[Aww on Lemmy.ml](/c/aww@lemmy.ml)

Equals

Aww on Lemmy.ml

You need to have the /c/ or it won't work. Don't put the ! or it won't work.
