Jon is right, but if you're really attached to the idea, you could
hack it like this:

1. Create a folder of symlinks to the items you want shortcuts for.
Name the symlinks with the shortcut (can be multiple letters).
2. Create a QS trigger for (the symlinks folder) > Search Contents...
Do *not* include the folder in the global catalog or I think you'll
get double results. Keep it small or the trigger will be slow.
3. Give that trigger the shortcut Ctrl-i. Watch for conflicts,
though... You can always use the "do not activate in these
applications" if you have an IDE or something that uses it, though.
Does that work in B59+?

You do at that point have to press enter at the end. Just getting used
to QS the way it's "supposed" to be used is probably better. This way
will break operations other than open, I think, since they'll
sometimes act on the symlink rather than the app. You also have to
revert to normal QS usage for Open With... etc, since you can't invoke
this with something already in the first pane.

Note that if you have an extremely large catalog, making QS slow, and
want fast access to apps, you could make a trigger for Applications >
Search Contents... and still use QS pretty much as normal.
