Description

### Current Behavior

Currently projects can be only referenced using their UUID. The UUID can be retrieved by searching for project with name and version using the rest API (/v1/project/lookup).

For [SVG badges](https://docs.dependencytrack.org/integrations/badges/) such a link exists: https://dtrack.example.com/api/v1/badge/vulns/project/{name}/{version}

### Proposed Behavior

Provide a link to a project like https://dtrack.example.com/projects/{name}/{version} (similar to SVG badges).

Such a link is much more user friendly and stays stable even if the project might be re-created. And it can be created up front without contacting DependencyTrack.
