map urls to plugins

The general implementation of such “pretty” permalinks in WordPress is realm of WP Rewrite. However it is pretty wide topic and low level code is a bit of abomination.

I would say these are three most common techniques for it, complexity ascending:

  1. Use WordPress native data structures (such as Custom Post Types and/or Taxonomies) and benefit from “magical” permalinks support provided for them.
  2. Add a limited extensions to existing permalinks, using endpoints. This works quite well for simpler use cases.
  3. Go all the way with rewrite and define completely custom rules. This is most powerful, as well as most messy.

Rewrite API documentation in Codex would be a start.
