Nicknames table:
id
model
foreign_key
name

Fetch the row based on the requested name and redirect to the correct
controller, passing the foreign_key value as ID. Or, better, associate
this model with both User and Group so that your NicknamesController
can get it straight from whichever model, eg.
$this->Nicknames->Group->find(...). Then you'd jusy need to do:

$this->viewPath = 'groups';
$this->render('view') ;
