Yes.

Teach OpenSSH how to get to the host by putting entries in the OpenSSH
/client/ configuration file; ~/.ssh/config or system wide
/etc/ssh/ssh_config. E.g.

Host targetHost
ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p tunnel-host

Host tunnel-host
# any options you might want here

This teaches any and all OpenSSH clients how to get to targetHost
without needing to specify additional command line options. I.e. you
can run the following command:

gvim scp://targetHost+path

(G)vim doesn't need to worry about /how/ scp connects. OpenSSH's scp
command deals with that transparently.

IMHO the OpenSSH /client/ configuration file opens up a world of
possibilities.
