Use the Tell Me (Search Box) to go straight to an item number or a customer number

I use the tell me functions a lot. Alt + Q key.

I would like to enter the item number in and press enter to bring up the item card. Same for vendor and customer.

You might be able to instigate a search on the tell me like this
Alt + Q i 1234 enter
This would bring up the itemcard 1234

or

Vendor 123456
Alt +Q v 123456

I was thinking of something similar, but by using this Tell Me to show any record that has that ID, for example, customer on the phone, gives you an invoice number.. Alt+Q enter the invoice number and the Tell Me search shows all records that have that record.

Yes I think this is a query overhead to the search, but would be most useful, customers have asked for this in the past! so got my vote!
