Topic: diferent ways to $translate

FHIR spec about $translate operation defines:

Translate a code from one value set to another, based on the existing value set and concept maps resources, and/or other additional knowledge available to the server.

So, one way to do it is using modifiers: code, source and target.

But also, I could do it using: code, url and targetSystem

/$translate? url=conceptMapUrl&targetSystem=urlCodeSystem&code=123

Is the second way valid?
What differences are there between translating between 2 ValueSets and translating between 2 CodeSystems?
