Not sure I’d advice that workaround, I think a better one is to use the markdown syntax where you give your own link text to a link.
So instead of https://MYCOMPANY.atlassian.net/issues/?filter=10391 just type [Issue X](https://MYCOMPANY.atlassian.net/issues/?filter=10391) which now becomes a link that looks better than both the full and shortened link: Issue X
