Change URL to appear more random

Hello all,

To avoid "footprints" with email, I am wondering if there is an easy way to change the tracking URL.

I used another mail system previously that "encrypted" or "hashed" the links. I'm not sure which of those two is technically correct. But it made each link look more unique so as not to form a pattern. The links looked something like this:
Code:
http://domain.com/Teiomn1HlSPIX03_FWo8rrMXBY
(short, and each one slightly different)

For example, the current MW tracking links look like this in the delivered email:
Code:
http://domain.com/index.php/campaigns/vp904abcde53e/track-url/tq432k7wz9ed2/41756346663103e9ef5e4bda96aff12312350520

Is there a way, without altering the code dramatically, to get the URLs like this:
Code:
http://domain.com/vp904abcde53e/tq432k7wz9ed2/41756346663103e9ef5e4bda96aff12312350520

This looks more "random" and, while these links will always have a similar look, these parts would not be repeated in every message:
/index.php/campaigns/ and track-url/

This wouldn't be the "encrypted" link I mentioned above. That would probably require more work than altering the current links.

Thanks for your input.
 
@Stratagem - Aren't tracking domains useful here ?

Sure. I have a bunch of tracking domains that I rotate (manually) from time to time. Anyone familiar with MailWizz is going to easily recognize the tracking links by their "footprint" or how they are structured.

So, I was just wondering if anyone has altered the tracking link structure in this manner before to remove these elements: /index.php/campaigns/ and track-url/.

I don't want to deviate from the core of MW. If there was a simple change, I would do this though simply to make the links more random.
