Access Query Params

[derek-pyne]

We've started launching some epic Voila dashboards in our team. One big thing that we would like to do is click a link from one dashboard to open another dashboard with some parameters set. The usually case for this is for drilling down into a more detailed dashboard.

We could do this by adding query params to the link.

This is doable inside Notebooks by accessing the url in a javascript cell like this:

%%javascript
IPython.notebook.kernel.execute("URL = '" + window.location + "'");

However this doesn't work in Jupyter Lab or Voila (jupyterlab/jupyterlab#5888). Assuming Voila is using Jupyter lab behind the scenes?

Any ideas on how to open a link to a Voila dashboard with some data in params?

Thanks @derek-pyne for opening this issue!

Voila doesn't allow arbitrary code execution so this code snippet will not work.

This is slightly related to #105 and #201 too but more towards using them in notebooks.
