Is there a direct link that never changes for .NET Desktop Runtime (x64)

At the moment it is currently version 6.0.7 and you download it by going to this link

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0

If you hover over the x64 link it takes you to here

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-6.0.7-windows-x64-installer

However, that download link is hard encoded for 6.0.7 - we are trying to build a knowledge base article for our software but worried after a few weeks the link we are sending out the .NET Desktop Runtimes will be out of date and we would like them to get the latest version from us.

If we send them to Download .NET 6.0 page they sometimes download the wrong runtime like SDK of ASP.net package so would prefer a direct link that never changes.

Thanks :)
