How to identify document in SharePoint

Question

You can put your documents in SP - cool, but, when its time to reorganize folders structure what I should do with old links?

Is there a way how to identify document instead of using URL where path to the document is used? I need something like permanent link: http://mysharepoint/doc-123, where 123 is the document identifier.

I need URL to the document which doesn't depend on folders where the document is published. Are there solutions?

SP2010 will offer a unique per site collection identifier for each document that you can use with a built-in redirector service.
