Yes, I tend to manually add a link to the changest URL for my own bugs.  
I also often go a step further and include the text of the Hg patch in 
an internal "Suggested fix" field or include a zip of the webrev as an 
attachment to the  bug.

I prefer having some inline information about the contents of the fix 
stored directly in the bug database to help long-term bug archeology 
since the lifetime of the JDK bug system may be longer than the lifetime 
of particular set of servers or URLs.
