Can this same solution be used to direct to a users post in a category. eg: I want to encourage my users to create a progress log. I have a Discourse category for these logs so I can link to the category, but I wonder if I could link to their log directly and if they don’t have one it would fall back to the category page. AKA: how else can the /my/ function be applied?
