Not natively (that I'm aware of).
A few 3rd party UIs will detect community/user/post links and re-write them to fetch locally.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Answer from @[email protected] when I asked the same question;
Good question, and sorry to disappoint but I believe the answer is still no. This has been talked about a lot ever since the initial exodus over from Reddit, so I can only assume there's a complicated technical reason why it's not a thing yet.
If you're Lemmying from a browser there's a tool called Lemmy Universal Link Switcher that I've heard good things about, although full disclosure I've not used it myself. It doesn't solve the problem of generating instance-agnostic links but it does try to solve it from the reader's side.
So a hacky solution that uses lots of javascript to search your home instance and re-write the page. Got it.
Actually just learned more about this! See the post on [email protected], or use this link to test: lemmy.ca/post/9712488
What I use when clicking on a link is [email protected], it will take you to the post on your home instance.
The option when posting is to use lemmyverse.link, which you can put before the URL. For example: https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.ca/post/9712488
I'll probably use both. I'll include lemmyverse.link in my posts when promoting communities, and I'll use the extension for my own use. At least until there's a fix in Lemmy itself.
Sadly that breaks things for the UIs that put in the effort to resolve those automatically. I guess I can add a patch to filter out the lemmyverse redirector lol.
