For example when link to my post on Steemit looks like:
https://steemit.com/halloween/@gtg/halloween-contest-and-promo-tricks-and-treats
With a title: "Halloween contest & promo - tricks and treats"
I can do it "normal way" such as:
Halloween contest & promo - tricks and treats
which code looks like:
[Halloween contest & promo - tricks and treats](https://steemit.com/halloween/@gtg/halloween-contest-and-promo-tricks-and-treats)

Disadvantage is that it will work in a way as you described - you will be redirected explicitly to Steemit regardless of an interface you are using at the moment.

So much better way is to use front-end agnostic links,
i.e.:
/@{username}/{permlink}
Which gives you this:
Halloween contest & promo - tricks and treats
which code looks like:
[Halloween contest & promo - tricks and treats](/@gtg/halloween-contest-and-promo-tricks-and-treats)

Next time, if you want my attention please reply to my post or comment (you replied to your own). Mentioning me is not always enough because of overwhelming mentions spam all around the palce.
