Sorry, we can only guarantee link migration within our environment. The
other guarantee is that links won't change when the element changes (and
stays within the same plugin, as the plugin name is part of the url).
This particular change in 1.2 however was done for people like you who want
to link to EPFC generated pages and found that the old link schema produced
too long URLs. This change was done to address this issue. You could
explore, if these external web sites should not also be maintained with EPFC
:-)
