Submits a destination URL to the tr.ee free link shortener and returns the newly created short link. Each call creates a new link (a repeated call for the same destination yields a different short URL). Returns one object with the direct short URL, its short id, a companion QR-channel short URL, the link's UUID, the creation timestamp and the site's moderation verdict. Costs two to three site round trips. A value that is not an absolute http(s) URL is rejected before any request is made.
