Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
as the API developer, often need to refer a front end developer to a request example to help them with their solution. It is often a long description or typing something like `go to api.that.tech > Events > EventProducts > queries > get event products` to get them to the correct request.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
The ability to have a single reference I can throw in our favorite chat app which a team member can use to access the request I am referring them to.
I want to send a request to another developer so they can view it in our shared Insomnia account and see how it is structured, etc. so they may use it in what they are working on. It is a way to quickly point to a request saved in Insomnia where we have hundreds of requests stored.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
I haven't really thought of alternatives. Currently I send them something like:
go to api.that.tech > Events > EventProducts > queries > get event products
To show them where the example query is.
**Additional context**
Our Team Insomnia list of requests has been growing quite large as we build out our system. I, as the API developer, often need to refer a front end developer to a request example to help them with their solution. It would be fantastic if I could send them a reference to the request from Insomnia which they could enter in their local Insomnia client to get to the exact reference.
Currently I send them something like:
go to api.that.tech > Events > EventProducts > queries > get event products
To show them where the example query is. While this work, a single reference would be so slick.
Contributor guide
Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by clarifying how a recipient should open a shared request in a local Insomnia client and what access the shared account requires; done means a single reference reliably takes an authorized teammate to the intended request.
