No - as that is tied to the current site layout/structure.
For links added to LO itself, never-ever-changing (or better: always
working) ones should be used.

A proposal for such common URL has been
hub.libreoffice.org/<whatevertask>?optional=parameters&like=version&and=distribution

so hub.libreoffice.org/file-a-bug or something like that is what is wanted here.
That will then redirect to the get-help/bug page, or when the version
is ancient suggests "this version is stone-age, we suggest to try a
newer version instead of wasting time filing a bug when no new
releases are going to be made on that codeline"
or "ah, you're using <distro>, have a look at those known bugs/file
bugs regarding <whatever> in <distro>-bugtracker, all other bugs go
here → get-help/bugs"

ciao
