slinking in Pivot

The blog software I use here, is GPLed and extendable. I've used a few extensions to show flash content and even hacked one to play mp3s.I just installed another one that will be handy for me rather than the children, slink.
slink lets you define some links that can then be inserted quickly by typing, for example: [[slink:p]] and getting .
you get to define as many slinks as you like in a simple file, mine looks like this at the moment:

Neat extension John. I wonder how easy it would be to make this into a Wordpress plugin, or if such a thing already exists for Wordpress?
