Description

This come from a discussion on sakai-dev where the desired goal was to have the ability to place items in the page list for a site that takes the user to a particular part of a tool. So for example there could be a entry in the page list called "Favourite Food Poll" which when clicked took the user to the poll about favourite foods (rather than to the poll tool and leaving it up to the user to select the poll.

At the moment this can be achieved with some tools which have state information encoded in their URLs but lots of tools don't. The problem with using URLs is that there is no central registry of how to generate them, they may change and when a site gets copied the aren't updated to reflect the new site.

I believe that the new EntityBroker is due to help with some of this, but it probably also needs support from the sites tools and portal.

I think this is covered by the ToolUrl method in the DeveloperHelperService already

I am unassigning this issue as it gives the wrong impression. I dont have enough hours in the day to look at this issue at the moment and keeping it assigned to me give the reporter hope that I might be able to look at it. I am very sorry. If this issue is a real blocker for production then I would suggest you look for resource in the community to fix the problem, I am happy to respond to emails and guide. Where the code base is Rwiki or Search, I have absolutely no problem with someone else working on the code, this after all is a community.
