Hi Everyone,

I was thinking that a shortcut for internal links would be great.

What I mean, if someone is typing /c/a-category or /t/a-post-tile , that text to get a link.

/c/a-category → [https://mydisscourse.com/c/category](https://mydisscourse.com/c/category) and so on.

Why not just type #Contribute > UX to match category and get a link?
