I find myself wanting to easily reference fellow monks' book reviews, or at least the book itself.

I know there's the isbn shorcut as well as a previous thread about this. Being able to reference node id's is one thing, but I've never been able to remember numbers very well. I generally want to do: 

You'll find that in [bookreview://TheCamel] or in [thread://HowToDoThi
+s] and perhaps even [tutorial://HowToDoX].

Granted, I'm a new monk. Right now I'm clicking around and copy-pasting book reviews and other node ids.

Is anyone out there doing something more clever? Is it now possible to define our own shortcuts, say in free nodelets? Or as belg4mit mentioned:

I'm pretty sure this has been hashed out before... In any event it's feature creep, and something that could be implemented client side (which I'm surprised tye hadn't chimed in about ;-).
