Hi is there an equivalent vanity urls feature for DAM assets?
Are there other authoring-friendly ways to achieve something similar (with minimal developer involvement (e.g. sling internal mappings))?
For example we'd like to have a vanity URL for a terms-and-conditions document hosted in the DAM. The vanity url would map to somewhere like /content/dam/weretail/docs/legal/terms-and-conditions-2019.pdf
Could u pls use sling resource resolver configuration to achieve this

Thank you for the suggestion ka786. I wondered about sling internal mappings but I'm not sure I would describe that as "authoring-friendly"(?)

Sling Mapping Or Redirects at apache level are the only options. In this case, authors have to assume that "/content/dam" will be replaced by "/" when the page/asset will be loaded on the publish instance Or live site.
NOTE: Do not use sling mappings on author instance as it is only recommended to be used on Publish.

Thanks JaideepBrar for the suggestion.
Given a vanity url example of '/annual-reports', how would you configure apache so that it knows whether it should redirect to page request in the CMS under /content/wherever or to an asset in the CMS under content/dam/wherever? And in the case of assets what request extension would you add to the request for the resolver process to act on?
Neither apache redirects nor sling mappings are author-friendly. I'm looking for a solution where, for example, an author can set a vanity URL themselves against an asset (as they can for a page), perhaps using the assets editor. We want to avoid a process that needs sysdmin/ developer involvement each time a new vanity url is added.
