Accessing Web Services using IPv6

I have a box which has both IPv4 (resolved via domain controller) and IPv6 enabled. Is it possible to access the webservices (configured using IIS) using LinkLocal address?

I don't know if it is possible (probably it it) but it is very inconvenient as you'll have to specify the link identifier every time. So your address will look like

http://[fe80::1234:abcd%8]/

And because you cannot put the interface number or name in DNS (they are specific to the client and the local link anyway) the user has to know the interface id and type in the address every time.

So even if possible it's not really usable.
