I don’t think I captured what I was actually after in my question – my mistake. Heres another try:

My current strategy is to just manually replace each bird name with their code. I was hoping to make 5 selections (multiple cursors, one cursor for each bird name), and convert them to their codes in one keystroke. Does this sound possible?
Hi,
The easiest way (afaik) is probably to create a snippet that replaces ‘rspb’ with 'Royal Society for Protection of Birds’ using a tab trigger.

If this is in LaTeX, you can also edit the configuration file (LaTeX bundle > Edit Configuration File) and add a line:
rspb = 'Royal Society for Protection of Birds';
or even
rs = 'Royal Society for Protection of Birds';
and in your text, use Control-Shift-period after typing rs.
