Hi !
Thought about this, too (and even made a simple item to 'portal' people
to another room), I made a mirror (one you could step through if you
said (one of) the correct phrase(s)), tagged a special to it (a simple
one that just looked for 'enter' and 'say'), and used <bla>.value[4]
to store the destination room. (code below)

SPECIAL(portal) {
sh_int room;
struct obj_data *object = (struct obj_data *) me;
if (CMD_IS("enter")) {
if (object->obj_flags.value[3]) {
if ( (room = real_room(object->obj_flags.value[3])) != NOWHERE ) {
char_from_room(ch);
char_to_room(ch, room);
object->obj_flags.value[3] = 0;
return 1;
}
}
}
if ((CMD_IS("say")) && (GET_LEVEL(ch) > LVL_IMMORT)) {
if (!strcmp(argument, "Open Sesame"))
object->obj_flags.value[3] = 3001;
}
return 0;
}
