You'll still need to encode both IP and host somehow encoded in the URL to skip DNS lookup from Google, but it's not even that far fetched.

<a href="https://www.example.com" addr="ip/192.0.2.1 ip/2001:db8::1 tor/examplecomrewwwi.onion">Example</a>

You do trust the origin site to send you to the correct next site right? :)

The big problem here is that you'll always still need DNS in a lot of cases, as webpages have long not been single-origin resources; most have to load all those tracking pages; also this would require all webpages to include that method, and also only works for web, the Internet is more than that.

I am looking forward to "DNS" pointing to more than just IPv4 and IPv6 though like in the above silly example ;)

Absolutely, not to mention load balancing that many do via short lived DNS entries and other subtleties. It's not an easy one :)
