Mount a Link entry to Home to create short url

[earthwytch]

Statamic v4.14.0

Is it possible to mount a collection, containing only redirect links, directly to the home page to create a short url system? I realise I could just create a Link entry directly within the Pages collection and job would be done. But, if possible, it would be nice to separate out this functionality for my users to make the purpose more clear to them, and to prevent the Pages collection becoming cluttered. They use these short urls for marketing campaigns on a regular basis.

I have tried creating a collection called short_urls that only has one blueprint:

/content/collections/short_urls.yaml

title: 'Short URLs'
template: default
layout: layout
mount: 47381bd8-b293-430a-b089-4f2b78ab9b76 <-- this is the id for the home page
revisions: false
sort_dir: asc
date_behavior:
  past: public
  future: private
preview_targets:
  -
    label: Entry
    url: '{permalink}'
    refresh: true

/resources/blueprints/collections/short_urls/link.yaml

title: Link
tabs:
  main:
    sections:
      -
        fields:
          -
            handle: title
            field:
              type: text
          -
            handle: redirect
            field:
              type: link
              required: true

While I was able to happily add a number of short_urls, none of them work and just display 404 Page not found.

/content/collections/short_urls/collections.md

Have I missed out something or is this not possible to achieve? Thank you ❤️

Nvm I was being a plonker... 🙄

I just needed to add a route instead of a mount point:

/content/collections/short_urls.yaml

title: 'Short URLs'
template: default
layout: layout
route: /{slug}
revisions: false
sort_dir: asc
date_behavior:
  past: public
  future: private
preview_targets:
  -
    label: Entry
    url: '{permalink}'
    refresh: true
