You can create a file of type "external link" (at least in OpenCMS 6,
I don't have version 5 to check it now), which is inside OpenCMS tree
and can reference any URL outside.
So for example you can create an external link called /welcome/contact.html,
you can refence it as such, and the link can point to "/contact/index.html".
