You can use your own HOSTS file.
But please make sure that only you are redirected as redirecting other people without their approval is immoral at least and can be illegal.

I certainly would be cross if I found my links to my bank being redirected.

No.
If you do not undrstand it and how it works you definitely should not be changeing it - well I am not going to tell everyone reading this how to do it.

Not with a path. DNS returns IP addresses and server data. Mapping an IP address to an internal path is handled on the node level (with some kind of endpoint server)

Google Apache redirect/rewrite rules.

Eh, a flask or django dev server with a @route decorator would be enough to meet the requirement.
