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]]
