Description
We based our collectives app on circles and it would be great if we could directly link to the circle that matches the collective rather than just link to the circles app.
For now I imagine using the fragment part of the url for the unique circle id or the name of the circle:
/apps/circles/#myCircle
or
/apps/circles/#e33e72be640e02
A bit of js in the circles app should be enough to select the corresponding circle and show it.
Maybe the url could be updated accordingly when picking a circle as well. This would enable copying the link and using it in other places such as emails.
I don't think history support is required here.

Research direction
Start in the JavaScript circles app where circle selection and URL handling are implemented, and reproduce opening a link with a circle name or unique ID in its fragment. Done means a matching circle is selected and shown on direct load, and picking a circle updates the URL so the link can be copied; browser history support is not required.
