Hi you are welcome, and also to the Unix and Linux forums. Are you aware of CDPATH? That might also be of use, perhaps not exactly what you require, but it is fast..
Code:
$ export CDPATH=~:/etc
$ mkdir ~/kwyjibo
$ cd /
$ cd kwyjibo
/home/scrutinizer/kwyjibo
$pwd
/home/scrutinizer/kwyjibo
$ cd postfix
/etc/postfix

NAME
postfix-nochroot - change /etc/postfix/master.cf to not use chroot SYNOPSIS
postfix-nochroot DESCRIPTION
Renames /etc/postfix/master.cf to /etc/postfix/master.cf.bak and creates a new /etc/postfix/master.cf file with every service configured to not use chroot. Every modified line is commented. It also restarts Postfix (to apply the change) and rmoves the unused chroot directories /var/spool/postfix/{etc,lib,usr} . Using a chroot environment makes upgrades more difficult and gets in the way when running SE Linux (without actually providing any security benefit in a SE Linux system). SEE ALSO
