Here is my suggestion once the icons for the various traits have been designed add the ability to post them to the forums so when they are used when you hover over the trait it tell the name of it (maybe add hypelink effect to the wiki) that way there is a system in place beyond knowing the name (which many do not as they are called the line and the number currently) and it easy enough to use avoids trait abbreviations that are often shared.

The forum is not working as intended (see broken search function) and likely not open to custom things like you suggest due to a fall out between the forum contractor and Anet:

The problem is deep within the technology behind the forum structure itself. Yes, we had a search engine in the beginning, but it was broken by our forum contractor in the course of working on other things. We no longer have a relationship with that contractor or his company, and someone else is not able to step into the system and fix the search engine because (1) our programmers are tasked with other essential work, (2) the forums run on a web framework with which most of our programmers are not familiar and (3) we’re investigating other options for forums and it would not be prudent to pour money into hiring someone to fix this as a short-term solution.

Maybe that is something that might work in the future if Anet goes with some other forum software.
