The only shortcut to learning notes on the fretboard is to use the octaves to find notes on the higher strings. You still need to learn all the notes on the E (6th) and A (5th) strings, but then two frets up and two strings up is the same note:

Fret 5 E String = A
Fret 7 D string = A
Fret 10 B string = A (3 fret jump because of the change in tuning)

Fret 5 A String = D
Fret 7 G String = D
Fret 10 E sting = D (3 fret jump as before)
