A shorthand for multiple links?

;D I know when ya read this title ya had to think, "what in the hell is this guy talking about?!" But after I explain a little better it might sound more like a legitimate question.

I have a fairly long list of quick links (approx. 20) that that I'm going to embed on my front page. Instead of adding the full url of each link to the each anchor, is there a way to add maybe the end of each link.

For instance, the link to this url is
support.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=programming&thread=423890

Instead of adding the complete url, since the location is local, is there a way to use something like

<a href = "&thread=423890"> ?

The closest you can do is everything after the ? so you'd have <a href="?action=display&board=programming&thread=423890">

Linking to boards is a bit easier because you just need to specify the board ID: <a href="?board=programming">

These don't work in posts of course because PB automatically adds http:// with any use of an [url] or [link] tag.

Ok I appreciate the answer. That is much better than what it would be without the shorthand. It at least splits the link basically in half so that's much better! Thanks again Shrike.
