This can be done by implementing a LocationHandler like
SearchEngineLocationHandler.

I use this feature heavily in other browsers (for easy access to information
sources by a keyword: various
dictionaries, wikipedia, ...) and Aurora is 50% less suitable for me than
Konqeror/FF because of this very
issue. Would be nice to know whether this feature is going to be implemented
and, if so, when.
Thanks.

Can you provide a link to documentation for this feature in Firefox? I tried
to find how to set sd to slashdot in
my firefox, but was unable to figure it out.

Sure, take a look at this: http://lifehacker.com/software/bookmarks/hack-attack-
firefox-and-the-art-of-keyword-bookmarking-196779.php
Note that it supports sprintf-like syntax to insert custom params into the URL.
E.g. you type "w foo", hit Enter and the browser opens the URL "http://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/foo".
Konqueror has much more flexible and elegant (imho) solution so would be great
if
it's considered too =)

This is quite identical to the search engines, where you're able to add a
keyword for a search engine.
Add "gg" to Google and "gg Arora" searches Arora at Google.
The benefit for this issue, is you're able to add any page, any keyword, any
form: what you want.
Firefox has e.g. the ability to right-click at a text-input element and say
"Create bookmark". Let's say
you do this for the Arora issue list here at Google Code (top of the page,
inside the blue bar) and call it
"arora". Type "arora bookmarks" in the addressbar and you're going to the url
http://code.google.com/p/arora/issues/list?q=bookmarks immediately!
I think this is very useful, especially because the Arora searchbox behind the
address bar supports
only opensearch declarations. So a very custom search is only possible with
this shortcut bookmarks
feature :)
