Currently, there does not appear to be any way to get to a linked URL without first opening up the kbin comments page for a thread.
This doubles the work a user has to do in order to reach the linked URL, and also increases the load on kbin since users are loading twice as many kbin pages as they otherwise might.
Each thread listing already has a “Comments” link that brings you to the kbin page for that thread. So the main title should link directly to the linked URL.
On wykop.pl you click a small link, and he is direct link. Maybe this is a solution?
You could do that. However, since we already have a “Comments” link, it makes more sense to have the title go to the linked URL. However, I would be happy with anything going directly to the linked URL right now. :)
What I don’t understand is why @ernest doesn’t rush this fix because it would literally cut his server load in half, which I imagine would be of great value to him.
