We dabbled a bit in something similar using YOURLS - Your Own URL Shortener. You'd still have to come up with a way to generate the short links by some method (either in software or humanware), but it's a little closer.

Dealer.com - Deep Linking to Detail Page by Stock Number?
- Thread starter ArtMorris

✨ AI Highlights
A dealer asks how to create deep links to specific vehicle detail pages using stock numbers so he can generate QR codes for window stickers, and explores solutions including Dealer.com's built-in QR feature and manual sitemap parsing. The original poster ultimately develops his own custom solution by parsing the dealer.com sitemap.xml file to extract VDP URLs, then scraping the HTML to match stock numbers with URLs for a lookup database. The thread demonstrates that while vendor solutions exist, a motivated dealer can build a workaround using existing sitemap data and custom programming.
