Can't we create a custom widget that looks at the URL of the browser running ExB?
window.location.href;
..and then improve that widget (below) to parse the /?find=51-074-00-00-033-001 and push it to the Search widget? The widget below could be a 2x2px transparent that just reads the URL params, then waits for all the widgets to be properly loaded (could be tricky haha). make sure that your ghost transparent widget is the very last loaded in the ExB list on the left. or put a 2sec delay before attempting to invoke the search widget. -- there: nice little project for you 🙂
Custom widgets only work with the ExB Dev Edition or with the Enterprise ExB. - not with AGOL as far as I know.
// src/UrlParamDetectWidget.tsx
import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
interface UrlParamDetectWidgetProps {
// Add any additional props you might need
}
const UrlParamDetectWidget: React.FC<UrlParamDetectWidgetProps> = (props) => {
const [currentUrl, setCurrentUrl] = useState<string>('');
useEffect(() => {
// Get the current URL when the component mounts
const url = window.location.href;
setCurrentUrl(url);
}, []);
return (
<div>
<h3>Current URL:</h3>
<p>{currentUrl}</p>
</div>
);
};
export default UrlParamDetectWidget;
