You might actually want to prefer this since you could make the link a
'popup a new window' style one and then it's easier for the user to
get back to loncapa.

You could also make it the first page in lon-capa so they don't have
to do the second click.

My reticence comes from my preceiving the future question of 'how do I
get back to lon-capa'

Which I'm guessing (since you are requesting this feature) that you
don't think will occur that often?
