I need the first one. There are some problems with this
UrlGetParameters approach: it seems that it will work for article
creation using the #formlink but it will not work for article edition
using 'Edit with Form' button. Another problem is that the parameters
for allowed value set restrictions may not be defined from the
beginning.
Linking together pages inside the website section is typical example
of such feature. Am I right that the most frighting thing here is
making ask-queries in AJAX code?
