I usually make a userscript for these sites, which add it automatically. Its a one-liner for simple link insertion. https://github.com/FrozenVoid/Userscripts/blob/main/Arxiv/Ar...

The Redirector add-on for Firefox provides pattern-based (regex and glob) URL redirection on the browser side. You can just add rules to its configuration rather than new userscripts.

I used in the past to locally correct for broken links within intranet/CI pages. E.g. something correctably wrong with a gerrit link, or whatever.
