I wouldn't think so.  If we begin using separate hot keys to pop up
different list types and this filtering was to be expanded, you can
see how quickly precious screen reader hot keys could be used up.  I
would think either the current proposed tree view approach would be
good or maybe a dialog with 3 or 4 buttons where they could be pushed
by typing the appropriate shortcut key.  Thus, you would have a
maximum of two keystrokes to press to invoke the desired list of
filtered links.  In fact as I think about this, I like this idea best.
