Also the emulate command:  emulate zsh -o pushdSilent -c 'pushd Desktop'

But in most cases a function with localoptions is what you want.

Incidentally, note that the behavior of

is not just temporarily set, it's temporarily exported into the
environment.  For certain builtins the variable becomes permanently set.
