This rather depends on how much you admin. If you control the link page
but not the storage, then this is indeed a useful approach.
If you control the server that serves the actual content though, you
should fix it up (maybe through .htaccess) so that the content is
served correctly, no matter how the user gets to that URL or which link
(if any) they followed.
