Whenever you select a detail view in the application, the browser URL is now updated to match the selected entity. For instance, if you have a VM named MyVM and you click on the name to see the details, the URL of the browser changes to #vms-general;name=MyVM. If you switch to the network interfaces tab, the URL in your browser switches to #vms-network_interfaces;name=MyVM. Changing entity or changing location keeps the browser URL synchronized. This allows you to use your browsers bookmark functionality to store a link to that VM.
As a complementary functionality, you can pass arguments to places to execute some functionality based on the type of argument you have passed in. The following types are available:
SEARCH: for main views only - this allows you to pre-populate the search string used in the search bar.
NAME: most entities are uniquely named and you can use their name in a detail view to go directly to that named entity.
DATACENTER: quota and networks are not uniquely named, but are unique combined with their associated data center. To link directly to either, you need to specify NAME and DATACENTER.
NETWORK: VNIC profiles are not uniquely named, but need both DATACENTER and NETWORK to be specified to directly link to it.
If you are not already logged in, you are redirected to the SSO login page and then back to the desired place in the application. This allows external applications to directly link to entities in web admin UI.

even though it is an RFE it does bring lots of value so keeping in z stream. Comment from Greg: this feature will allow you to use browser bookmarks to save your current location in the application and return to it later. Basically, the current entity and place are synchronized into the URL bar of your browser, which together with some previous infrastructure allows you to use your browser's bookmark to go directly to an entity from being logged out. The same is true for search queries on main views. blog post by Alexander https://www.ovirt.org/blog/2018/01/ovirt-admin-bookmarks/ What the status of verifying this one?
