I did some quick testing, and I think we can do this by using the tinyurl for the page you want to reference. The tinyurl is in the info tab for each page. I tested this theory by moving a page to a new space and renamed the page at the same time and the tinyurl remained constant so I think this should be a usable solution. I actually use confluence tinyurls all the time in emails and references from external sites.

Yeah it would be nice if we can have some reference to a confluence page in the code but I would like to see it as constant even if the page's name changes or have that reference maintained somehow automagically.
