Describe the feature you'd like

Actually every page have a url with book name and page name. And sometime, it's very long to put it on a doc.
Like :
https://aide-enf.cemea-formation.com/books/assistance-enf-pour-stagiaires-formateursrices-tuteursrices/page/pourquoi-ce-nom-bichik

But we select some words in this page, we see that there is a short link to this page and this word like :
https://aide-enf.cemea-formation.com/link/25

But I can't see where have this link whithout make this selection and copy. However, this short link exists for every page.
In addition this short link doesn't exist pour every book.

Thanks a lot for this good tool to make pretty documentation.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

It would be easier to insert short link on document paper or where the url is visible and sometimes too long.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Partially for the page, but not for the book

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

Since 2 years

Thanks for the request @webafrancois, but I feel the fundamental desire is already covered by existing issue #1781 so I'm going to close this off as a duplicate.
