If it’s an internal url for example a topic link then you can use the following format to make it shorter: `/t/-/topic-id`. This way you can skip the domain and topic title. And only use the topic id which is a number to find the topic.

Or there is a theme component too for it: [Share Link Shortener](https://meta.discourse.org/t/share-link-shortener/251965)

If it’s an external url then I think it only possible with a kind of url shortener right now. It would be cool to build a theme component or plugin which automatically shorten the url. It could be control by a setting to restrict the internal urls or what domain setted up. But this is just an idea 😅
