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 Sorry I misunderstood. I believe you can link the community as a whole, but posts I don't believe you can.

There isn't a way at the moment. Solutions to this are being discussed on Github

Edit 2

Maybe you can't link a community either, I could have sworn I have seen it done but that could have just happened to be for my instance.

Edit 3

My testing please ignore :)
