I would create ~/.ssh/config and populate it with your command-line
options:

#+begin_example
Host ssh-example-com
     HostName           ssh.example.com
     User               someone
     Port               4321
     IdentityFile       ~/.ssh/ssh.example.com
#+end_example

Then,

ssh ssh-example-com

will do what you want. Or

C-x C-f /ssh:ssh-example-com:. RET

will open the home directory of "someone" on ssh.example.com.

HTH,
Leo
