Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have most of my gcodes organized in folders (by project). To make it easier to access a particular folder/project, it would be convenient to create a browser bookmark that opens that folder directly within OctoPrint.
Describe the solution you'd like
Including the folder/object identifier into the URL (as a query param, something like folder_id=4197efa4-d60f-49f3-9846-bcef1291197f) would suffice. Then, by visiting the https://octopi.local/?folder_id=4197efa4-d60f-49f3-9846-bcef1291197f URL, I would be redirected to the specified folder inside OctoPrint.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Some kind of "bookmarks plugin" for the OctoPrint. As I typically work on multiple projects, having quick access to recent (work in progress) projects would be great. Once a project is completed, I could easily remove it from the bookmarks. I prefer not to delete the related folder/gcode files since I may need to reprint the project at a later time.
