Thank you. I think that viewing the links or interpretations as claims is a good idea. That gets at what the content provided could be concurrent to a redirect. As claims, one could annotate these as well.
For scenarios where the link or interpretation itself is a locus of debate, perhaps one could provide multiple options and utilize HTTP response code 300.

Subject: Re: [Abstract-wikipedia] URL-addressable statements and clusters of statements
I like this idea. In general clear rephrasings are simply their own claims; a good rephrasing may be pointed to as a "common claim" implied by many other statements; a statement may imply a number of rephrasings; the link between a primary-source
statement and a common rephrasing is itself a claim; most of these links will be uncontroversial but for some that link itself is the locus of debate. [see especially: discourse analysis in theology]

Hello. The following ideas about URL-addressable statements and clusters of statements (e.g. paraphrase sets or clusters) are relevant to a recent Wikifact project proposal, could be relevant to a recent Wikipragmatica project proposal, and, hopefully, are relevant and interesting to Wikidata and Abstract Wikipedia.
Each statement, claim, or fact could have a URL. Each cluster of paraphrases could have a URL.
Statements, claims, or facts could have URL’s, for instance https://www.wikifact.org/statements/33DCF305-3A4D-4024-9AD7-CCB1A29054E2 .
Clusters of paraphrases could have URL’s, for instance https://www.wikifact.org/clusters/D006871E-24A6-428F-BD1F-D20C3C7B7685 .
The URL for an individual statement, claim, or fact could, while optionally providing data, redirect to a URL for the paraphrase cluster which contains it. This could convenience processes of semi-automated, collaborative paraphrasing. That is, in the event of an erroneous paraphrasing, editors or software tools could edit a redirect page to re-cluster the individual statement, claim, or fact to an updated cluster of paraphrases. At the URL for a paraphrase cluster could be a human-editable sequence of explained annotations about a statement, claim, or fact.
The emergent feature of URL-addressability could convenience Web-based communication about statements, claims, and facts. End-users would be able to share hyperlinks to fact-checking articles about individual statements, claims, or facts. This could facilitate a number of other, related technologies.
Also interestingly, statement patterns could be expressed and these patterns could be utilized via URL query strings. Nouns or noun phrases could be provided as arguments. That is, arguments for thematic relations could be provided utilizing Wikidata lexemes and entities.
https://www.wikifact.org/patterns/293FCD5D-27A7-498A-81C3-C78EF0F9D9A2?agent=Q42&patient=Q89 could represent a set of statements expressing that “Douglas Adams ate an apple.”
