Redirection to older versions page should retain some context

Some feedback related to how we handle URLs to older versions of docs:

I tried to find some info about auth_token, so I went to Google and typed: site:goteleport.com auth_token. I opened a bunch of results and one of them pointed to https://goteleport.com/docs/ver/6.1/getting-started/:

After opening that tab, I was redirected to https://goteleport.com/docs/older-versions/ but at this point I lost context as to what exactly I was trying to open.

What would help me in that situation is automatic redirection to that page on GitHub. Alternatively, it'd be nice if the "Older versions" page could show the original URL I was trying to access so that I can manually find the related article.

Also, the links on the "Older version" page could point to docs/pages within our repo – I think it might be hard to find that one yourself unless you already know where stuff is in the repo.
