Currently, [[shortcuts]] must have the url parameter, and can optionally
have the desc parameter. If the shortcut directive instead required at
least one of url or desc, then shortcuts could just supply a description
without an URL. Since desc can contain arbitrary wiki markup, this would
allow shortcuts with multiple links, such as the mmlist shortcut proposed on
[[simple_text_parsing_or_regex_in_template_or_shortcut]], or a comprehensive
Debian package shortcut which linked to the package page and parenthetically
to the BTS and PTS.

It sounds like you're looking for templates, not shortcuts. --[[Joey]]
Perhaps true (see my issues with template syntax on
[[todo/shortcut_optional_parameters]]), but allowing a shortcut without an
url still seems reasonable, and simple. You could also use such shortcuts
without markup at all, as an abbreviation mechanism:
\[[!shortcut name=spi desc="Software in the Public Interest, Inc."]]].
\[[!shortcut name=sosp desc="Symposium on Operating System Principles"]]].
\[[!shortcut name=cacm desc="Communications of the ACM"]]].
