I'm writing a macro that takes a string and it returns an href based on that string. The string could have 150 different values. My question is how to write this in an efficient way. Using pdflatex.
Here's what I've got right now, shortened to two conditions for explanation:
documentclassarticle
usepackagehyperref
newcommandmyref[1]%
ifnumpdfstrcmp#1aaa=0%
hrefexample.com/aaamy aaa link
fi
ifnumpdfstrcmp#1bbb=0%
hrefexample.com/bbbmy bbb link
fi
begindocument
Here is myrefaaa.
enddocument
But of course once I get a success (#1=aaa, say), I'm still testing the other 149 conditions for no reason. How to code this efficiently?

Ah, I simplified too much. It will actually take two args. first arg goes in the link address, the second provides the link text. Like hrefexample.com/aaaThe Title of the AAA Document (link text will have completely different text on each invocation of the macro.
