On top of all of these suggestions there is the fact that once we all get used to Tiger, then Spotlight may do away with ever having to remember shortcuts/paths to filenames anyway.

I think Spotlight's ulitmate purpose would be to use it's functionality to open files and just use Finder for organising them, a kind of "File and Forget" way of thinking: Just put a file, (say an image) in the Images folder then forget about it and just access it from that point on from Spotlight.
