Normally +1 BUT I am quite unsure about having this special syntax only for document links. It might be a bit confusing with the fact that other types of links (relative or url) will have a different way of specifying params. Then again, document link is a document reference while url or relative is definitely an http link. > > It be done like this: > > [[label>>doc:mypage||parameters="a=b&c=d" anchor="..."]] > > We could decide to use another syntax for parameters (ie query string) such > as: > > [[label>>doc:mypage||parameters="a=b,c=d" anchor="..."]] while I do understand why it's better to have an abstraction from http parameters, I think it would be confusing otherwise, because users would tend to escape that by URL rules which doesn't escape comma for example. However, since this is only for advanced users in advanced cases, I would say any syntax would do, users would learn it and get used to it.
