🌟Short links for events

[anthonyrom]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

For events with long names, links to event pages can be quite lengthy. When sharing on social platforms that don't hyperlink (e.g. Instagram), this creates a burden for users who must type the entire lengthy URL into their browser.

Describe the solution you'd like

An option should exist to customize the format of event page links, or to generate shortlinks for events. For example, if a normal event URL is https://example.com/event/5/some-rather-lengthy-event-name, you could create a shortlink such as https://example.com/e/123456 which redirects to the event page. Or, perhaps you could opt to change the format of the main event page URL itself, e.g. removing the event name so the link is simply https://example.com/event/5 (I assume the number here is always a unique identifier anyways).

Additional context
Open to other suggestions about how a feature could be implemented to improve event page URLs!

Thanks for the suggestion, @anthonyrom. I'll add this to to the roadmap as it's been mentioned before.

The main URL contains the event name for SEO purposes.
