Description of problem: Given an id, if you need a specific URL to access the details of a Provider/System/Organization/Environment/Role/User/Changeset in UI, we cannot do it in Katello at this point. For example if we need to access the details of a system with id=111, we cannot user http://<FQDN>/katello/systems/111 , since that just renders the raw html. Similarly http://<FQDN>/katello/systems#panel=system_111 may not if the system 111 is not in the 25 system limit window. The only way to do this at the present time is to http://<FQDN>/katello/systems?search=id%3D111#panel=system_111 . This basically does a "go to systems list; look for system with id 111; show that" so on the left there is only one system and that is automatically chosen. Two issues with this approach: 1) That "id = 111" shows up in the filter box. This may or may not be acceptable 2) 'id' on scoped search has been only implemented on system for now, but not on others. We may or may not want to go with this approach.
Given the restful nature of the application, attempting to solve this through use of search parameters seems convoluted. I propose adding the ability to restfully select a single item and have it display as the lone item in the list on a normal 2pane page. For example, /systems/11/ would show the normal systems page with only system 11 in the left hand list with the details page popped out.
