This may work for you if you assign static IPs, but many people use DHCP, so if the router says “nope, you'll get a new IP”, that's it. Just like ports. What if user x uses port 9000 because his vlan only allows it? But the actual port is 3000?

Even if we were to install this, there would be another shitstorm because the values aren't correct and our magic crystal ball can't guess correctly. The notes are only written once, directly when the container is created.)

Well, three comments here:
a) even with DHCP they appear with a name in my DNS (Fritz box router). This name is equivalent to hostname of the container. So instead of an IP the hostname could be used.
b) let the user decide if he/she wishes to have that link
c) many containers run their web interface on some arbitrary port. It would at least help if that port number could be listed somewhere.
