URL Parameters to control map extent AND filter widget

Using URL Parameters for an Experience Builder app, the goal is to create links to zoom to specific features that will be selected in a Filter widget, and to control the zoom level and center position of the map.  I have successfully built the URL and both functions (filter widget & map position) function independently, but when combined into one URL, the map zooms to the URL-specified extent, then re-zooms to the filtered feature.    

Is there a way to force the app to use the center & level parameters of the URL rather than automatically zoom to the filtered feature?  I do have the 'Zoom to' action configured for the Filter widget, but am hopeful this doesn't have to be turned off in the event that a user wants to make a new selection with the Filter widget.

Sample of the URL:  

https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/<AppID>#widget_2=center:-8283456.60180332%2C4941522.4949009%2C102100,level:17&widget_31=filters:%5B%7B%22name%22%3A%22Filters%22%2C%22clauses%22%3A%5B%7B%22index%22%3A3%2C%22values%22%3A%22<FeatureToFilter>%22%7D%5D%7D%5D

What happens if you take the centering/zoom level out of your URL Parameters? I think that should be closer to what you want.

The Filter widget does select the appropriate feature, and the map zooms to the feature extent as if I made a selection using the Filter widget itself, but in my use-case I want to be able to define the zoom level and center position of the map to provide users with a little more context to surrounding features to help orient themselves.  I know the Zoom level can be customized in the 'Zoom to' actions menu, but I'd like to be able to control that on a feature-by-feature basis.

Have you trying re-ordering your parameters? List the filtering first, then the zoom level. Does that work?

I gave that a try, same results.  Good suggestion though.
