mod rewrite without the "id"

[gnubittol]

Hi!
a simple question: it's possible have the link rewrite without the "id" ?

I explain.. :)

default: www.mydomain.tld/links/header-category-1/
request: www.mydomain.tld/links/header-category/

TIA!

It has to have some sort of way to differentiate the link #. Without the link or category ID, how do you know what to link to?

a category have a unique name... where's the problem?
In fact my request is only for the categories, because i'll change my links manager from xxx to vba_links and i don't wont loose all the spiders indexing about.
this is very important for me.

Something like that could possibly be hacked into the coding, but it is not setup to allow for that by default since not everyone will have unique category names.
