I think it would be worth considering to have this feature in the next
rev/update. For "local" pages that developers want in the history, the meta
tag will put them there, all other pages can be ignored as far as the
history is concerned. The current crop of apps in the ROM are pretty
straightforward and may not need this feature, but I think it will be
necessary for complex ones to have a mechanism to jump between the pages
just visited. No amount of static linking can provide the "random access"
to the pages on such a small screen.
Another related question - is it possible for third-party developers to
"link" prcs and pqas programmatically? There seems to be rudimentary
support to "fire" the prc but, what we would like to do is to be able to
make a sub-call to prc or from PRC to some specific page of the PQAs. I did
not find such information anywhere and don't know if this can be done even
as a 'do-it-at-your-own-risk-hack'.
Thanks.
