No please don't do this. I have lost count how many times I tried to follow a link only to get a 404 page. If there is an issue where the app gives the user an error, show the error details & context directly and list the possible mitigation steps right then and there.

A URL with specific content is just another thing that now needs to be maintained along with the code and failure modes.
