Description
This is a proposal for an enhancement:
allow to enter an address to search for, directly in the URL, via a parameter
for example
../index.php/apps/maps/?search=my%20address
this would allow, for example,
having a firefox bookmark called "maps" with address ../index.php/apps/maps/?search=
when entering "maps rome" in the address bar, firefox would directly open the maps app at the desired location (e.g. Rome).
another option is having a gesture browser extension so that when an address is selected, making the gesture would automatically open the maps app at the address location.

Research direction
Start at the maps app URL entry point shown as ../index.php/apps/maps/ and trace how the search field is initialized. Check how the search parameter should be decoded and confirm that opening a URL with search=my%20address populates the field and searches for that address.
