Description
similar to how the KB has a very short link you can add KB000001 etc to, it would be neat to have the same thing for prepuchasing, something like prepurchasing.ucdavis.edu/findrequest?SOME-REQUEST
then in our browsers we can add a search item like prepurchasing.ucdavis.edu/findrequest?%s with keyword opp; that makes is so when you type "opp" into your search bar, you can paste in SOME-REQUEST
and it will automatically link you to the request like prepurchasing.ucdavis.edu/findrequest?SOME-REQUEST which then would take you to the related https://prepurchasing.ucdavis.edu/Order/Review/000000
We currently do something similar with INCs, KBs, CHG etc. It can also be handy when needing to link things out of a Box note or similar
if this already exists please let me know I'd love to use it to speed up my workflow

Research direction
Start by finding the existing short-link handling for KBs, INCs, and CHGs, then trace how the request review URL /Order/Review/000000 is resolved. Done means a request-number quicklink accepts the proposed findrequest? parameter and redirects to the related order; verify it alongside the existing short-link behavior.
