| Description | People very commonly wish to do this, although it's not what the redirects feature was designed for.
Regardless, I think with changes we could accommodate it. If the requested URL matches a deep redirect's match-key, route the request in an expected way, similar to how the main_include_module block would handle it. |

It's assumed people who aren't using Apache know how to configure their choice of web server manually.
I don't think there's particular utility in having a page-link level redirect, as it's overly limited (compared to URLs) for no good reason.
