Quick question - is there a way to format a link to a lemmy post so it opens through your home instance if you click it?

I notice often people might cross post something and say (for instance) cross posted from https://lemmy.ca/post/1916492 (random example which is the link that I just followed)
Is there any way to format a link like that so your home instance will just open it up so you're still logged in and can interact with it?
The link I followed goes to the Canadian lemmy server but it's actually looking at a post from beehaw.org, so it's extra useless 😒
Eg, if we could use the !technology@beehaw.org part with an ID? something like 6769052!technology@beehaw.org and our home instance could parse it to a link, with some tools to make it easy to add?
EDIT: This isn't a feature, but there is a github issue feature request at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2987 for exactly this
EDIT 2: appears to be a userscript solution, but i haven't tried it. lives here though: https://git.kaki87.net/KaKi87/userscripts/src/branch/master/fediverseRedirector/README.md
I got very confused and tried clicking all kinds of stuff, ending up with a dozen accounts across the Fediverse. I am not the only one who did, apparently.
You two can stop now. It's not funny.
