Another name, depending on the exact context, is “hairpin NAT”. Should make googling with the specific router OP has easier.

I can’t remember exactly what its called, but something like router loopback is what you want.

I think the term often used is “NAT reflection”.

Never heard that term, but its a very obscure concept, so wouldn’t surprise me if it had multiple names. Probably vender specific names?
Seems quite a few people havent heard of it, hence a lot of the split DNS answers :/

Thanks - I have an icotera i4850 router which claims to support NAT loopback, but I can’t figure out where to do it and it seems like the manual is gone from the internet :) Might have to ask my internet provider if they have a PDF somewhere.
