That would mean fetching an idea to compute the path for each hashtag. Overhead?

Seems like minor overhead. It’s not like there are tons of user-generated hashtags everywhere.

This actually helps to prevent rendering links with IDs that don’t point to any existing idea.

Fetching the idea is not necessary if the feature is backwards compatible. Can still just use /ideas/123.

As noted in #1777, fetching the idea actually helps. Well worth the overhead.
