We have an in house "go links" [0, 1] tool, which I update heavily as I work, so everything is always a few key strokes away. So if you want to access "foo", you just type "go/foo". If you want to access to the dev version "go/foo-dev". If the link does not exist you are automatically put into a UI to make the link then and there.
If you have an issue tracking or code review system you customize it so you can do "go/T123" and go to issue "T123". Or for common apps you can put in place simple patterns like "go/foo/id" and it opens that application to looking at that id.
