Roland suggests:

[libdefaults]

    err_fmt = %E. Please see https://whatever.example/%N

where %E is whatever the error string would have been and %N is the
error code number (or symbolic name for it).

The default would be %E.

Additional contextual information could be provided with other tokens.

This would allow sites to use URIs or some other non-URI string if they
prefer.
