Maybe I'm misunderstanding (not deliberately, I assure you) what you
mean but it's certainly not lost: the link continues to work, even if it
points to a read article; and visiting the group with C-u <SPACE>
in gnus also allows you to see previously read articles. It's only
expired articles that can never be gotten back after their expiration
period runs out.

But maybe that's what you are alluding to when you say "visiting the
group in a regular way"?
