Actually I think we have 2 options only: 1) [[label>>doc:mypage||queryString="a=b&c=d" anchor="..."]] 2) [[label>>doc:mypage||parameters="a=b,c=d" anchor="..."]] 1) means we consider that all renderers will only deal with URLs, which is probably true in practice but not 100% sure... 2) is more neutral and doesn't imply URL but may be less natural to users used to HTML/HTTP.
