Hi, I’ve been trying to navigate across and into embedded views housed in nested tab containers by [passing parameters into a page’s URL](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/pages-in-perspective#passing-parameters-to-pages). The idea was to allow users entering a URL like “page/overview” or “/page/tab7/component3/part2” to dynamically navigate to the corresponding tab, nested tab, or embedded view after configuring the URL of the page as “/page/:param1/:param2/:param3”. Has anyone tried implementing something like this and succeeded? Would appreciate some ideas on how I can approach this.
