Description

I would like to put "Run" links next to all of my code samples. The user shouldn't have to click my "Run" link followed by the playground's "Run" button.

Would it be possible to have a query parameter that means immediately run the gist when you land on the page?

Research direction

Start by tracing how the Rust Playground handles gist links and URL query parameters when loading a page. Confirm how a query parameter could distinguish an immediately running gist from the current landing behavior, and verify that the gist executes without requiring a second Run-button click.
