Some nicknames are too common, i end up having to go through several of them on the search list to find which one is the correct one. Would be nice to be able to search by external link urls, so i could search for their unique csdb, pouet or janeway profile links instead of their very common name.

To be sure, what you're asking for is that you can be able to paste, say, https://csdb.dk/scener/?id=19998 into a search field and end up with a direct hit on https://demozoo.org/sceners/24360/ ?

yep. or janeway link etc.
either on the main search bar (for one to check the nationality, group affils etc and try to figure out which is the right one from the list) or directly on the dropdown credits menus where you're supposed to type the name of the person, just drop the link there and it notices it's a url, looks for it on the external sites of groups/users and auto-resolves/returns you the correct name selected.
