NextJS - `createURL` should run server side

[Avi Kaminetzky]

🐛 Current behavior

createURL returns an empty URL on the server and only populates on the client.

🔍 Steps to reproduce

1. Go the sandbox
2. Disable Javascript
3. Observe that the links are empty

💭 Expected behavior

Expect that the links are populated server side. Theoretically this should be possible since we are running getServerState on the server and know the UI state prior to SSR. (See #5236 (comment)).

A side effect of this issue: When you click on a link before the JS is fully loaded, you are taken to the broken link.
