Yes. For something targeting shell-script URL manipulations that is certainly
sensible. A "urler" tool could be made to work like this:

  $ urler --url https://curl.se --host example.com
  https://example.com/

  $ urler --host example.com --scheme ftp
  ftp://example.com

  $ urler --url https://curl.se/we/are.html --redirect here.html
  https://curl.se/we/here.html

  $ urler --url https://curl.se/we/../are.html --port 8080
  https://curl.se:8080/are.html

  $ urler --url https://curl.se/we/are.html --only-path
  /we/are.html

  $ urler --url https://curl.se/we/are.html --only-port
  443

For example.
