I am not going to claim definitive knowledge, but my understanding of CRAN is that only the package URL that I copied from the page itself will remain if the package is archived. Thus, unless the package vignette has a non-CRAN permanent URL (e.g. arXiv) it may be safer in the long run to link through the main package URL.
