Adding redirect to redirect component from custom component

Question

Is it possible to add a redirect to the redirect manager from my custom components controller or model? I want my custom component to add a redirect to the redirect manager on deletion of an item. I know i could just add the necessary db query to add this. But i was wondering if there is a more "Joomla Way" of doing this by talking to the redirect component directly.

Kind regards,

Tom

You can just add the necessary db query to add this, see: https://docs.joomla.org/Inserting,_Updating_and_Removing_data_using_JDatabase

However, you might be able to instantiate the RedirectModelLink model (/administrator/components/com_redirect/models/link.php) and use that to add / delete data.
