Sure. Let's suppose you wanted to fetch Werner's key. You want the key
for wk at gnupg.org Using --with-wkd-hash parameter, we can see that this
would generate nq6t9teux7edsnwdksswydu4o9i5es3f at gnupg.org
Then, the key of Werner lives at
https://openpgpkey.gnupg.org/.well-known/openpgpkey/gnupg.org/hu/nq6t9teux7edsnwdksswydu4o9i5es3f
If openpgpkey.gnupg.org didn't exist, then it would use the direct schema, in which the key would be at
https://gnupg.org/.well-known/openpgpkey/hu/nq6t9teux7edsnwdksswydu4o9i5es3f
