I see that using the genesis block hash would be the perfectly rigorous way
to do it, but what do you think about the possibility of letting also use
the name constants, as a simple / more relaxed alternative? That would
spare a source lookup just to write a correct reference to a tx, maybe in a
forum or a post.

So a reference to a certain tx could be either:

blockchain://tx/ca26cedeb9cbc94e030891578e0d2b688a28902114f6ad2f24ecd3918f7=
6c17f

blockchain://tx/ca26cedeb9cbc94e030891578e0d2b688a28902114f6ad2f24ecd3918f7=
6c17f?chain=3D000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce=
26f

blockchain://ca26cedeb9cbc94e030891578e0d2b688a28902114f6ad2f24ecd3918f76c1=
7f?chain=3Dmain

(or a different element name maybe)
