It would be ideal to implement a redirect mechanism to enable shortlinks (similar to vanity URLs). We could include the shortlinks in various tools in the OCaml ecosystem (e.g. compiler, REPL, dune, opam) to direct people to long-form documentation.

E.g. ocaml.org/t/alert

(t for 'topic' but any reasonable alternative would work)

This link would just need to redirect to its corresponding long-form link e.g. in this case https://v2.ocaml.org/manual/alerts.html

If the shortlinks were configurable via a content management system, that would be best. It wouldn't need developer work to manage them.
