Hi Steve,
There is no *supported* way of enabling some URLs but not others right now. It is, however, possible to do. If you open up redir.asp in any text editor, you can find the VBScript code responsible for URL blocking and modify it as you see fit (for example, providing an exception list). Just look at the very bottom of the IsSafeUrl() function.
If you modify the redir.asp file, be sure to keep the backup! Once again, this is neither recommended nor supported by PSS in any way.
I'll keep your suggestion in mind for future versions of OWA.
