I never knew about abbreviations in Zim before, but I do a similar thing
via other software:

Windows: AutoHotkey
Mac: Karabiner Elements
Linux: Autokey

If your Zim exploration doesn't work out, check out the above. They work
across all apps which is nice, but you can also limit the shortcuts to
certain apps (at least in AutoHotkey).

Good luck,

-Chuck
