Link to your Twitter profile using an internal identifier, not a display name

In my application, I have an internal Twitter user integer identifier, and I want to provide a link to their Twitter page, for example. I have a 123456 identifier for a Twitter account http://twitter.com/thisisanexample and I want to provide a link that resolves the page of a Twitter account using an identifier.

I know that I can request Twitter web services using an identifier and get the screen name, but I would prefer it if possible.

Does anyone know if Twitter supports a URL that takes the internal integer identifier of a user and redirects it to a regular Twitter user profile?
