Is there a way to indicate a route is deprecated for the purpose of type safety?

[PatrickJoannisse]

Minimal example here. I have a site with a page located at /page and I want to move it to /blogs/page. However, I want to preserve backward compatibility and redirect people from /page to /blog/page.

The way I understand how to do this right now is to do preserve the page.tsx file but do something like this:

// src/routes/page.tsx
import { createFileRoute, redirect } from '@tanstack/react-router'

// Support the old URL for backward compatibility
export const Route = createFileRoute('/page')({
  
  beforeLoad () {
    throw redirect({
        to: '/blog/page',
        replace: true,
      })
  }
})

But technically, if could use /page as a value for a <Link to="/page"> and it would be valid. No error or warning is shown.

I guess I have two questions:

1. Am I missing an easier way to do this directly in the /blog/page.tsx?
2. Is there currently a way to indicate this route shouldn't be used?
