Looking for a check on if people would find this feature useful:

A special type of permalinks that work from posts and topics inside Discourse, which need a special prefix to make the routing work (here, let’s say /go/). (Current permalink records only work for requests that hit Rails first (new page loads + open in New Tab).)

These permalinks would be editable by moderators (less damage you can do when the URLs are scoped).

Use case: easily written URLs to common community resources, e.g. we could give each #howto topic one or two link words, or create /go/install for the [standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true).

Surveying interest because I frequently have big ideas nobody wants 😉
