amzn.to is operated by bit.ly. It can be done. The steps would be:

1. Resolve amzn.to link into full link. (Using curl or some similar method.)
2. Make adjustments to the url as necessary.
3. (optional) Reshorten the link using bit.ly. [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com) links are automatically shortened into amzn.to links.
