That's actually an extremely good point, and I really like it.  But it
also assumes that users are running an upstream release of MantisBT --
anyone using a distro package or a git checkout won't be able to
follow those links.  That's the only benefit I see to referencing a
page on our site.  Not sure that outweighs the benefits of your
suggestion though...
