Get URL of build details page of another build

[Ullrich Hafner]

In Jenkins side panel we have a „previous build“ link that opens the same view for the previous build. Is this functionality available as API somewhere? I would like to navigate from the current view (e.g. the static analysis warnings for a given package) to the same view just in another build.

So my view is at
- http://localhost:8080/job/pipeline-analysis-model/157/spotbugs/fileName.1674206610/
From there I would like to open
- http://localhost:8080/job/pipeline-analysis-model/[build]/spotbugs/fileName.1674206610/

Of course I can parse the absolute URL on my own, but it would be simpler if I can reuse some functionality in core if available (based on relative paths).

https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/blob/f185e66ef70b67236d944eb5e06d6bad3516c889/core/src/main/resources/hudson/model/AbstractBuild/sidepanel.jelly#L33-L39 seems to be it and reasonably reusable?

Implementation at https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/blob/f185e66ef70b67236d944eb5e06d6bad3516c889/core/src/main/java/hudson/Functions.java#L381-L411

Thanks for the pointer! The most important method is private. Without getUrl one can open only the previous and next build, but not an arbitrary build (e.g. the selected item in the build trend chart). 

Any objections on changing it to public? Then I will create a PR for it. In the meantime I will need to copy the code into my plugin.
