Library: Bypass Check-in/Checkout so user is always editing

I know that the Versioning settings can make check-in/checkout optional ; that's not what we need. We need check-in/checkout to not exist at all, even as an option.


We need users to be able to access a library document from a saved browser shortcut (bookmark, favorite, etc.), automatically launching the file in Edit mode rather than Read-Only Requiring Checkout or Save As. The desired sequence is:


1. Open the document in Edit mode (not Read-Only) from a browser favorite.


2. Make changes to the document without having to Save As to a different location.


3. Save changes, automatically uploading the modified file back to the library without any check-in step.


Any ideas of how to make this happen? (We aren't allowed to use SPDesigner.)
