Is Your Feature Request Related to a Problem? Please Describe

I would like to quickly go to a frequented website.

Solution You'd Like

It would be nice to be able to specify shortened URL's that get automatically expanded when searched to.

Alternatives You've Considered

Bookmark bar.

Additional Context

Example: You enter in 'e':'example.com' to the suggested settings page You enter 'e' into the search bar Beaker expands it into 'example.com', and goes there (Note: this should not affect hyperlinks)

This could be handy, as sometimes bookmark bars get too full; however, shortcuts cannot take up UI space. I am unfamiliar with how Beaker (or any other browser) handles searching, so it may be that a rework of hyperlinks and redirects would be necessary for this to work as intended.
