I'm afraid I don't understand the issue here.  Other packages have 
vignettes named "introduction.html", e.g.

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rasterly/index.html

links to

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rasterly/vignettes/introduction.html

and it doesn't seem to cause any problems.  Why would you need a 
separate link to Introduction.html?
