Okay, so this isn't really a complex hack - but its something pretty much every Joomla webmaster can use; a way to limit the length of hyperlinks!...
All you have to do is include a javascript in your template that will
cut the link down in length and then set whatever functional variables
you want by editing the script.
NOTE: only *linked* urls will be shortened in length w/this script.
Now I just need to
figure out how to force all URLs in content to be made into links and
I'll never worry about URLs breaking my templates ever again! 
To
insert the javascript into your template, use the following line in the
'head' adjusted or the location where you save the attached script on
your server.
<script type="text/javascript" xsrc="shortlinks.js"></script>
Hint: look at the javascript before you use it - you may want to make edits.
