How to set OneNote 2016 'Quick Access Toolbar' to have shorts on it

We are trying to place a shortcut in the 'Quick Access Toolbar' in OneNote 2016.  What what we are trying to accomplish is to place a shortcut there that would take the user to a specific page.  How can do this?

The Quick Access toolbar holds only Commands. Open Notebook (command) was a close as I could come. So it does not hold shortcuts in any way I can see.

If only one Notebook, the tabs across the top and pages down the side are easy and fast to locate.

The thing is we have a lot of notebooks and wanted to see if we can place a shortcut some of them at top, since it has an option to "customize".  That was we don't have to keep scrolling down to the lasts one.

please note, that on other MS apps, we can place shortcuts of VBA routines (maybe there is a way for actual notebooks?)
QAT for Word and Excel work the same way as I describe. What apps are you referring to?

If you need VBA to change the QAT, I cannot assist with that.

Outlook.  In outlook we can place shortcuts to VBA.
Outlook is different because it already has favourites.

Excel, Word and One Note work differently so you would have to contract someone to customize (if indeed they can)
Some overall thoughts for you.

Outlook is a very different animal from the other Office Apps. If you were paying attention when Office 2007 came out, Office sans Outlook had the new Ribbon toolbar; Outlook did not. It does now.

You cannot make the other office apps into Outlook. There is no native way to do this. None.

So if you think you cam make a workaround, that will all be custom code.

Yes!!!!  Thank you very much!  Hyperlink!! Excellent!

Though your comment doesn't approach on how place an actual a shortcut on OneNote 2016 'Quick Access Toolbar', it does answer our need (as our questions asks): "take the user to a specific page".  

We just finish creating a page with all the user specific page need as links showed the user and it's more than enough!

Thanx!!!!
