I have a 'shortcuts' directory under my personal directory, and have added it to my PATH variable. I put various things in there - links to apps, documents, even the shortcut directory itself.
One trick with autocomplete - if you edit the Internet Explorer options -> Use Inline Autocomplete it'll auto-complete on Win-R, so you'll usually just type (using your example) 'to' and [enter] (after it's linked the shortcut to the text the first time).
