Honestly, I don't think it is easier to type {{subst:url to diff}} than [[Special:Diff]].
It's not a matter of which is eaier to type. It's a matter of which is the easier way for non techncial editrs to convert the URL in their clipboard to something that we prefer on-wiki.
I'd rather suggest a global JavaScript gadget to replace those URLs with plain Special:Diff links, since the {{diff}} template does not work in every wiki.
Great; let me know when you've got that working.
