Thanks. Understood. I realize that GWT apps are "single page" and
logical pages are created/torn down dynamically. My question was
concerning the application URL string and what sorts of tricks mights
be possible in order to support multiple URL paths/parameters strictly
as a means of directing the application to a logical target location
in the UI. So, for example, a 3rd party app might launch the app in
context, selecting a specific element in a tree view, seleting a tab,
etc (all by way of the URL string), so that the UI is opened to the
target location without the user having to perform the navigation
himself.

I suppose the simple solution is to limit this to the query string
parameters of the URL. I just thought the path portion of the string
would be a more concise way of expressing a logical target location
rather than parameter keywords/values.
