Description

### Problem Statement

Currently the URLs take quite some space the more complex it gets:
Example: https://demo.sentry.io/explore/discover/homepage/?dataset=errors&field=title&field=project&field=user.display&field=timestamp&name=All%20Errors&project=4508968118321152&query=handled%3A--%20error.handled%3ATrue%20error.received%3A-7d&queryDataset=error-events&sort=-timestamp&statsPeriod=30d&yAxis=count%28%29

This is basically just noise for sharing links

### Solution Brainstorm

Would be great if we can generate shortURLs to make this a better developer experience.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how Discover query URLs are built, then determine the supported shortened-link behavior and its persistence or redirect path. Done means a complex Discover query can be shared as a shorter URL and restored correctly.
