Need a way to get the "real" job URL without views etc. in the path

      Currently, if I browse to a job via a view, that view name appears as part of the URL. Take the following example:

      I am a member of TeamY and am currently developing projectX. I have my own personal view for the projects I am currently working. Depending on how I get to the projectX job (via the main "All" view, the TeamY view, or my personal view), I get 3 different URLs:
      jenkins.internal.com/job/projectX
      jenkins.internal.com/view/TeamY/job/projectX
      jenkins.internal.com/me/my-views/view/MyCustomView/job/projectX

      The 3rd URL is especially problematic. If I happen to browse to projectX through my personal view, then I copy/paste that URL into an email for a teammate, the link is actually broken for that person since they do not have permission to "browse through" my view to reach projectX. Or maybe somebody not on TeamY gets the TeamY URL and can't "browse through" it.

      It seems like no matter which view I am in, when I click the link to go to projectX the URL should switch back to /job/projectX and not keep the /view or /me/my-views paths.
