I just learned that finding the package on "rdocumentation.org",
then clicking on the vignette I want at the end of the page, "bssm.Rmd",
gave me a URL that is portable, at least for the moment:
https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/bssm/versions/0.1.7/vignettes/bssm.Rmd
This seems less likely to be trapped by CRAN checks unless it
actually stops working ;-)
Thanks to all who replied to my question.

What's the difference between

When I tried the former, it automatically changed to the latter.
Is the former considered to be more stable?
CRAN puts this on every package page:
"Please use the canonical form https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=xxxx
to link to this page."
I think one of the checks will complain if it notices you give the
link in a different form. I forget which URLs it checks.
