Changing... or "masking" existing URLs

I've tried various .htaccess rewrites like this, and nothing works. The only thing that shows up in the browser bar is what is listed in the database table adopts_links. Sure, I can change the URL in that table to what I like, but then that link will only ever redirect you to the index page.

If there were a way to create another column in the database called linkname, that would function to be what is displayed by the browser in the address bar, that would be great. So you would have the existing column linkurl, and the partner column linkname. One acting to gather the content, and one to display in the browser. Is this possible maybe?
