Could you use a search results form to rewrite the url?

<txp:if_article_section name="about">
<txp:section name="about"><txp:title /></txp:section>
<txp:else />
<txp:whatever />
</txp:if_article_section>

You could then canonicalize the url:

<link rel="canonical" href="<txp:site_url /><txp:section />" />

And add to preserve any links.:

<link rel="noindex,noarchive,follow" />

“And add to preserve any links:”

Should have been:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex,noarchive,follow" />

Your method is indeed much better. By adding the code below in the search_results form the links direct straight to the section pages.

<txp:if_article_section name="section_name_1,section_name_2,etc">
<h3 class="entry-title"><a href="<txp:site_url /><txp:section />/"><txp:section title="1" /></a></h3>
<p class="entry-summary"><txp:search_result_excerpt /></p>

<p class="small"><a href="<txp:site_url /><txp:section />/"><txp:site_url /><txp:section />/</a></p>

<txp:else />
<h3 class="entry-title"><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h3>

<p class="entry-summary"><txp:search_result_excerpt /></p>

<p class="small"><txp:permlink><txp:permlink /></txp:permlink></p>
</txp:if_article_section>
