You can get the current user login using GET /rest/auth/1/session. You can find more info here:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/How-to-check-current-login-group-using-javascript/qaq-p/173183

and then add the current user login to your html link.

Users would be directly clicking the URL , they wont run GET /rest/auth/1/session

The rest call must be made on the page loading using java script.
