> I haven't found any way to create the shortcuts you mention

There are many tutorials on this newsgroup which explain every single step
in the process of creating one-tap shortcuts to all public activities
and, in this case, to URL/URI shortcuts for any web page you want to open.

All you do is use an intelligent browser that allows shortcut creation.
a. You open that browser to the web page (e.g., Google Maps Traffic)
b. You tap the GUI to make it into a desktop shortcut
c. You then move that shortcut to your maps folder.

A shortcut everyone should put on every phone in the house, for example, is
a shortcut to the nearest hospital, or to the closest first-aid station.

Another shortcut I use is a shortcut to people's homes that I visit
sporadically - which Frank has discussed in detail in the past on this
newsgroup - where you can use the Google Maps app to create that shortcut.

For example, I have a Google Maps shortcut to "Home" which I press anytime
I'm anywhere & I want to figure out how to get home from there in one tap.

Shortcuts to web pages are trivial to make.
a. Any good web browser allows you to make them
b. Any good app (like Google Maps) allows you to make them
c. There are good apps which make them out of nothing more than a URL.

No sense in me repeating what has already been explained in great detail.
You can even make a shortcut to this Android web archive on the net.

Just run a search for "one tap shortcuts" in the Android newsgroup archive.
