Is there a placeholder or something that automatically leads to the newest answer of the linked topic?

Example:  
There is an ongoing topic which lists requirements. If a new requirement occurs, it is added as an answer in this topic.  
In another category, we add a new, template-based topic. The template bears the link to the requirement-topic.

I’d like to enter the link into the template so that it always leads to the newest post of the linked topic.

Is there something like that?

```
[text](https:///address/t/topictitle/1788/#)

```

instead of

```
[text](https:///address/t/topictitle/1788/14)

```
