that is only a typing convience which is not the problem.
The problems (why a syntax would be helpful) are:
a) referring to versions is shown as an external link
b) the ability to refer to a version in a redirect, i.e. declare a
synonym for a stable version.
#redirect [[{{fullurl:Help_talk:Redirects|oldid=262031}}]] does not work.

http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Interwiki_link#Interwiki_Redirects
mentions this, but I cannot find the variable. Among
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Interwiki_variables it does not
seems to be Manual:$wgDisableHardRedirects, because this is false by
default. Do you mean
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgRedirectSources ?
Not so nice: the redirect will not have a "redirected from" link.
