If you have properly recorded the time at which you accessed the website (are you using {{cite web}} ?) it is quite simple to construct an automatic link via the Wayback Machine.
If memory serves, {{dlw}} and {{dlw-inline}} are related to this...yes, they are. If it proves sufficiently common, it should be possible to adapt the various {cite ...} templates which all "url" parameters to accommodate an option to provide a historical link if necessary.
Actually, come to think of it, given that we encourage people to record the time when they viewed a given URL, it might not be a bad idea to channel *most* of them through the Wayback Machine so as to link to the state of said URL when it was used as a reference...
