Sorry, but that's the only way. At least right now. I do see how that might be a nice feature, and I don't think it would be too difficult to implement, and I might need to do that for another project, but one thing to keep in mind is that some threads are really really *really* long...

I wish there were, redirecting can in fact be pretty tedious...
