This works properly with SSO for login-required forums. The original link is passed as `session[:destination_url]` to `/session/sso` and then saved. It also works if you create an external SSO link with a `return_path` parameter:

`http://forum/example.com/session/sso?return_path=http://forum.example.com/t/test-topic/123`
