Why do you insist on the pointer to be present before you start your webpage? You are making a chicken-egg-problem out of it, while there is no need. IMHO a webpage with information, but no prominent pointer is preferred over a pointer in the LOR message to a nonexisting webpage. I am confident, once your webpage is set up and contains some useful information, there is someone, who will add the hint to the error-message. But not the other way round, no one will commit a hint to something, which doesn't exist.
