I can do ":split FileNumberTwo" to achieve this. However, I don't want to type out or use completion to refer to FileNumberTwo. Some commands will accept "#2", or even part of the buffer name as an argument, but not :split (and some others) - or can they?

What would I search for for that? And [++opt], [cmd], etc. Are they in the help somewhere?

There is also ":sbuffer" which will take a buffer number or partial buffer name.
