The whole PERMALINK thing is a bit of a nightmare. A factor is "social evolution". The first book was printed in 1454 <https://www.booktrust.org.uk/news-and-features/features/2019/december/a-little-history-of-reading-how-the-first-books-came-to-be/>. The ISBN, an unique identification system for publicly printed books was created in 1966 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Book_Number>. Only 512 years to get that working well! SO-CALLED "Permalinks", I think come in many different guises. And it IS confusing knowing what is what. At on point there came, and now very much waning, the BLOGGER movement went for permanence. They added also copious TRACKBACKS, often mediated vis RSS and PINGS. The thing was they evaporated, despite the intent. >From deaths, neglect, and server non-persistence. For longevity on permalinks there are SOME sites like IMBD that have done well. They assign unique UIDs to every newly RELEASED MOVIE. (Example: the short Tiddlywink, which is "tt3337220" <https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3337220/> in IMDB ). The Internet Archive <https://archive.org/> is very interesting. A kind of "Preservation Society For The Lost" . Regarding YOUR posts! I do think using, in TW, since we CAN do it, a UID as the initiation point, rather than server (or internal TW) REDIRECTS, is a pretty neat solution.
