You can do it several ways.

First, you can create bookmarks to local pages with FORM elements that
submit to the remote server.

Second, you can create a sidebar form for each of these "special" links
(similar to previous method but more elegant).

Third, you can use Javascript bookmarklets that open a prompt window and
append the result to a string that set as window.location.href.
