That would be a good upgrade to the InterWiki system: indicating that
the site is: (1) another MediaWiki site and commence processing as
usual; (2) that it is some other wiki (eg, uses spaces, camel caps, or
something else); or that (3) the text should only be escaped and no
other processing should occur.
In the meantime, you can try a template that defines the link as HTML
(though the success of this is iffy).

Is there a way to make spaces available in interwiki links, or is this not possible
[yet]?
Unfortunately, all link targets are treated by the software as a
"Title" object - so interwiki links have to obey the validity
constraints and normalisation rules that an internal link would. So
spaces become underscores, plusses kill the link completely, and
percent-escapes are quietly unescaped. It might be possible to change
this, but it could be awkward because it would require spotting an
interwiki link before any other processing had been done on that
link/target. See also
