Being able to target the nearest entity with commands

You know how you can target the nearest player with @p (I believe that it's @p I'm writing this from memory), right? I think it would be really useful if you could do that with entities too. For example, if you wanted a pressure plate that teleports whoever stands on it to somewhere else, you would use @p. But if a mob walked on the pressure plate, then it would teleport any player that happened to be closest to it! But this is just one example and I'm sure people would find it very useful for lots of things! But I don't know what to call it...

    I just realised that you can do @e[r=1] (maybe [r=2] if that doesn't work), but it would still be better for players who aren't very expirienced with commands (like me) to understand so I still think that this should be in the game.

    Edit: Do [r=2] I don't think [r=1] will work
