Comment (by afercia):

 Replying to [comment:13 obenland]:
 > Right, currently it is the latter. We could copy what the theme
 directory does though, where that is wrapped in a link to an actual web
 resource (which wp-admin/themes.php?theme=twentyten is).
 The theme directory on wp.org works differently, using links there makes
 sense. `wp-admin/themes.php?theme=twentyten` is a resource, where the
 resource is `themes.php`. To avoid academic debates about what a resource
 and a URI are, try this: disable JavaScript in your browser and then go
 to:

 {{{
 https://wordpress.org/themes/twentyeleven/
 https://wordpress.org/themes/twentyfifteen/
 https://wordpress.org/themes/twentyfourteen/
 }}}
 it works, they're real web resources and using links to point to them
 makes sense. Then try to go in the WordPress admin to:
 {{{
 /wp-admin/themes.php?theme=twentyeleven
 /wp-admin/themes.php?theme=twentyfifteen
 /wp-admin/themes.php?theme=twentyfourteen
 }}}
 nothing happens, it always shows you themes.php so they're not "resources"
 and links shouldn't be used in this case.
