It would be cool, if the destination was a YouTube video, if you added in a section for video timestamp, same way you do ref and UTM info 👀 it would give a number input for ?t=xxmxxs

The passthrough URL parameter works great for this, for example it allows us to pass through a tracked time stamp to a specific part of a YouTube video. In this instance I'm just going to do the 5 second mark, but you get the point:
https://efficient.link/ateam/6?t=00m05s

This is invaluable for sharing content (also showing a screenshot of it in use)

Now what if Dub recognized a YouTube link, and simply allowed for adding in the URL parameter of time? It's such a pain to remember the formatting structure of ?t=xxmxxs or the calculation required for t?=345 (divide by 60 seconds to get the minute/second marker). So it would just be cool to make that more easily accessible/manageable especially when you want a link to jump specifically to a part of a video.

Bonus points in stringing this with link aliases: #495
As you could literally have a short link to a video, and then aliases that point to the same link, but actually pass through the time parameter, that way you could literally have a video with additional alias links (human readable) that would jump to different points of the video. e.g. https://efficient.link/ateam/6/investment (alias), and that could jump to the part in the video that talks about the investment in Arc. That would be so cool, it's like YouTube video chapter links 🤯
