Contract verification on Optimism Goerli displays wrong URL

[WarTech9]

After verifying a contract with hardhat-etherscan plugin, a message is displayed showing the successful status and the URL to the newly verified contract on Etherscan:

Successfully verified contract ${contractName} on Etherscan.
https://goerli-optimistic.etherscan.io/address/${contractAddress}#code

The URL displayed points to https://goerli-optimistic.etherscan.io

Opening this URL does not work because the block explorer URL for goerli is https://goerli-optimism.etherscan.io/ (optimism not optimistic).

While Etherscan seems to have a redirect from optimistic to optimism, this does not include the path after redirecting, thus, opening the link displayed does not take you to the page for your contract.
