what .bib files do for bibtex, is there something for href?
I wasn't even sure how to formulate this question, nor the appropriate tags, so there may be some editing or even deletion if this is a stupid question... But I think it is a feature that people would want...
Often I find myself writing informative (I hope) documents that need href{addr}{name} to provide more content. I know I could do it once, but then the reader has to hunt for the word among many pages to "go there".
It would be nice if I could just rely on a list of them, like in a .bib file, that a new definition could just provide the same functionality.
Silly example... Instead of this;
I like the search engine href{https://duckduckgo.com}{duckduckgo} because href{https://duckduckgo.com}{duckduckgo} provides me with privacy I don't really understand.
something like this;
I like the search engine hrefcite{DDGo} because hrefcite{DDGo} provides me with privacy I don't really understand.
(where there are a list of these items, e.g. `newcommand{DDGo}[1]{href{https://duckduckgo.com}{DuckDuckGo}}`)
Maybe there is something like this already... I've used glossary before but I don't see how that helps either.
I also tried using input{/home/me/somewhere/hrefListForInput} in the preamble of my main document, call it main.tex, with 'calls' to this newly defined command in the text like the following.
I'm talking today about the great search engine DDGo, and its use in Timbuktu.
Then the file hrefListForInput contained newcommand{DDGo}[0]{href{https://duckduckgo.com}{DuckDuckGo}}. However, I got errors about not finding the file
Enter file name: hrefListForInput
! LaTeX Error: File `hrefListForInput.tex' not found.
Certainly this has come up before...?
I'm using LuaLatex/Linux/TeXLive, an article document class, and so could use directlua or things like that but a more universal approach would be better.

Oh, my bad... I guess it needed a.texfile extension... Now it works. But is there still a better method? Or is this it?
