This feels impossible to me as no-one added scope IDs to DNS. There is
no way for the stack to pick the right interface to use without that
information. Note that ::1 would not be affected by this[0].
I thought with the introduction of %25 as the canonical separator the
issue was settled on how to address link-local addresses. Turns out
that's not the case and browsers intentionally do not support it
(Firefox bug[0], Chrome bug[1], WHATWG URL spec bug[2]).

[0] I understand the need for differences between IPv4 and IPv6 but I
still don't understand why - of all the things - localhost was limited
to a single /128 address, whereas it's a /8 on IPv4. Which means that
there's also a port conflict gamble going on there.
