In Web App Builder, you could right-click a feature to add a marker and then click on the maker to copy a URL that would take you to that map extent with the marker displayed.  We used these URLs to post on our calendar of events so people would know where the event was located.

In Experience Builder, the Draw tool can be used to add a marker, however when sharing the map using the Share Widget, the URL does not keep the marker that was added to the map.  An alternative is to take a screenshot of the dropped marker (or use the print widget), but we want to be able to provide a URL to our interactive map that shows a marker at the desired location.

This idea requests the same functionality that was in WebApp Builder to add a marker and then be able to copy the URL that would take the user to the map area with the marker appearing on the map.  OR, enhance the Share widget so that graphics drawn on the map with the Draw widget appear when the user goes to the URL generated by the Share widget.

I would also like to get this functionality added back to the experience builder version of the Share widget.  Working today I haven't found a built in widget that would allow creating a marker that is retained with the shared url.  I tried using the search widget to create a marker, adding a marker with the draw widget, and using the coordinate widget to add a marker but none of these markers were retained.  All of the state and url parameters are enabled for the map for my web application with one being a marker.
