Well, here I must beg to differ:
The large and small magellanic clouds have this star bridge between them because the large cloud is pulling stars out of the small one because of gravity. Exactly the same thing applies to the milky way and the large cloud, as the (admittedly) danish news article states.
Now, I will admit myself that this star bridge might very well be of such low density/spread out that we cannot hope to jump along it. Furthermore it says that the stars will be old and I guess that means unscoopable, but please prove me wrong on that. I think i recall that the majority of the stars in these star bridges are of the type RR Lyrae star type, whatever class of stars that compares to in our game, I dont know.
Old stars are generally more in the range of Red Dwarves, and some less luminous K-types in the main sequence (Between 9 and 5 Luminosity Class, most likely AB or B Luminosity Subclass), so if such a bridge were to ever exist between the Milkyway and the LMC, it would then potentially still be scoopable, given we can engineer our FSDs beyond the 100ly mark.
Unscoopables, or brown dwarves, on the other hand (L, T, Y), are also called "failed stars" in slang astronomy words, because they couldn't produce enough heat in their core to fuse Hydrogen. Some early gas giants can even produce a spectrum similar to those.
TTS, or T-Tauris stars are not to be assimilated to brown dwarves, those are extremely young stars still in their expansion process, and can produce a wide range of star classes once finishing their expansion process. They are unscoopable due to their expansion state, still not at that point where they can fuse hydrogen.
For the latter, RR Lyraes are A/F-Type variable stars, and thus also in the scoopable range. Variable stars can be of two types : Intrinsic variables, or Extrinsic variables. The former defines stars that varies in luminosity because their size swells and shrinks. The latter are varying in luminosity because of the presence of a darker medium in front of them that makes their luminosity vary seen from earth.
---------- Science addition ----------
All of that makes me think : Our galaxy actually has several stellar streams orbiting it, their origin ranging from old globular clusters, defunct galaxies and galactic collisions during the Milkyway's life. The most well-known ones are the Sagittarius Stream, Monoceros Ring and Magellanic Stream. A great way to implement a "bridge" between the Milkyway and the LMC would be through thoses me thinks
