Description

The ability to link to specific panes for specific resources would give new possibilities to improve the user experience. For example, sharing panes could link to a specific pane for the profile document to allow users to manage trusted applications.

Unlike many routing systems we cannot use the fragment-part (#) of the URI for this, as that would collide with referencing to specific parts of the resource. We would probably solve this by using a query-parameter instead, e.g. ?pane=trustedApp, which reads as "if the trustedApp pane is available, open the resource with it".

By appending this to the URLs when exploring various panes we also allow for better support with browser navigation buttons.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by tracing how pane URLs are generated and how pane selection is handled. Done means supporting a query parameter such as ?pane=trustedApp, appending it when navigating between panes, and preserving expected browser back and forward behavior.
