When developing custom UI plugins it would be helpful to be able to bind custom URL Query Parameters.
Current State: Custom plugin urls are simple page endpoints and the plugin cannot add or retrieve query params
Desired State: The plugin should provide access to an API for reading and writing query params from the URL. These could be used to set sub navigation, store state, or save filters or other low-risk data.

Another perk of this is to allow deep-linking to subnavigations within plugins. EX A user can share a url and the plugin can display a certain configuration of widgets to the user when shared.
The ultimate business case for this is the shared state when sharing urls. An end-user right now is expected to share how they derived state as a set of reproducible steps rather than leveraging the native browser URL.
