any way to use the binding with hono without passing the service url?

I am using several workers and I would like to use one as a gateway and communicate with all of them through service bindings, but is there a way to use the service binding without passing the full URL of the other service? I attach the example

const app = new Hono<{ Bindings: { USERS_WORKER: Fetcher } }>();

app.get("/", async (c) => {
  const res = await c.env.USERS_WORKER.fetch("/");

  const data = await res.json();

  console.log(data);

  return c.text("Hello Hono!");
});

const app = new Hono<{ Bindings: { USERS_WORKER: Fetcher } }>();

app.get("/", async (c) => {
  const res = await c.env.USERS_WORKER.fetch("/");

  const data = await res.json();

  console.log(data);

  return c.text("Hello Hono!");
});

i get this error ✘ [ERROR] TypeError: Invalid URL: / only works if i set the url like this const res = await c.env.USERS_WORKER.fetch("http://localhost:8787/"); But since I have several workers, I'd need to define many variables and I'd like to know if there's a way to save myself that step.

I believe you should be able to do something like const res = await c.env.USERS_WORKER.fetch("http://example/");

Yes, but I wanted to know if I should do it without putting the URL, since I have several workers and this would save me from having one more variable.

Sorry should of clarified. I don't believe it just has to be a valid URL so for all your requests it could be const res = await c.env.USERS_WORKER.fetch("http://example/<path>"); . I don't think you need to worry about it being a valid hostname

You can use RPC, so you do not have to use fetch and also, you do not have to make it public (no public url). https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/rpc/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/javascript-native-rpc/ https://github.com/cloudflare/js-rpc-and-entrypoints-demo
