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?

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.

I created this topic on my own instance. It knows original ID, but doesn't know ID-s in all other servers in federation.

I want to write a link in such a way, that lemmy substitute it with the reference to the local copy of message on lemmy.ml server.

But now lemmy just shows an original link to my server.
