Suggestion to avoid Navigation interface clutter in complex web sites...

How about giving an option to abbreviate WikiWord to WikiLink that has the shortest possible allias (made with authomatic abbreviation or manual user defined, like ColorToGrayGraphics? to something like Rgb2GrayGfx? ) while keeping link description non-abreviated (a href="Rgb2GrayGfx" title="ColorToGrayGraphics")...

NOTE:This is not about Making URL shorter, but actuall WikiWords!

This might require adding new TWiki construct - WikiLink! But this would be usefull also for (non)collaborative bookmark managment and would go nice with recent change in EasierExternalLinking... Since external links are now with different syntax!

This seems like an excellent idea for a Plugin if it is indeed a feature that you would like to have, however I fail to see how efforts to remove "clutter" are advanced by making WikiWords less human readable.
