Prompt for user login when clicking Nexus permalink

We have internal customers who need to download software from our Nexus repository. We provide them with a permalink to the asset, but if they are not yet authenticated, the link will return a blank page with the message “Asset search returned no results.”

If they had first logged in, and then they click the link, it will work as expected.
My question is whether I can get Nexus to prompt them to login when they are clicking the link, so that they do not think the link is broken.
