Why not define a function to do what you want, then bind it to a keystroke? I have stuff like (defun open-personal() (interactive) (progn(find-file "~/org/personal/personal.org")(end-of-buffer))) and then with (bind-key (kbd "H-M-p") 'open-personal) I can open my file and go where I want to with a keypress.
