Description

At the moment a certain action can be opened directly in the UI with an URL like:

https://myhost.example/#/actions/core.local/general

But it would be awesome if value for parameters could also be specified, for example:

https://stackstorm.crv4all.com/#/actions/core.local/general?cmd=date

Is this possible at the moment? With this functionality it's easy to implement approval workflows, because a certain link can be emailed to someone. And that someone only has to open the link, authenticate and run the workflow/action or maybe do some tweaks first.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the UI handles the existing action URL fragment and whether query parameters reach the action form. Confirm the expected behavior for prefilled parameters, authentication, and user edits; done means a deeplink opens the selected action with its parameters available before execution.
