The Short Link WordPress plugin automatically creates a link element in the section of the post's page with rel="shortlink" attributes. The URL in the href attribute defaults to the id number of the post in question but can be overridden with a human-friendly slug after the post has been saved.
It also creates an HTTP Link
header that conveys the same information as a
performance optimisation (clients need only do a HTTP HEAD to resolve the URL)
The link element looks like this:
<link rel="shortlink" href="{url}" />
The HTTP header is:
Link: <{url}>; rel=shortlink
