Basically I want built-in PS4 user manual option that opens https://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps4/index.html to open another URL, can I do that using dnsmasq/adblock? Thanks!
Probably not. You can point manuals.playstation.net to a different IP address, but it will still request for https://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps4/index.html on that IP. So it will at least generate a certificate error, and probably simply a 404, as the IP doesn't host that domain and path.

There are public dns servers that do exactly that, so it's definitely possible. Question is whether it's possible with openwrt...
It can be done-ish. Put manuals.playstation.net as static address in your hostnames. On that static address there should be webserver running, which generates a 301 or 302 redirection to your other url.
Maybe you can use your routers IP address, and create a file /www/document/en/ps4/index.html on your router containing something like
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=your_url" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
But this will generate a certificate error, as your router can't provide a valid certificate for manuals.playstation.net (unless you can install certificates on your PS4), and I don't know how it will handle that.

Thanks! I managed to do it with simple hosts entry pointing manuals.playstation.net to public DNS server, mentioned above (it's also IP address of host I'm targeting).
