feature request via simpler disclosure - URL formats that control presentation & zoom in type #629

Please enable URL formats and describe them so people sharing links can specify according to their understanding of the recipients biology and evolution awareness level, and also, according to the device/software/app/platform they will likely open the link on.

Explanation:

Hello,

I'm grateful to be able to use this software, on the onezoom.org website.

I'm sometimes emailing family members on things, presently it's cockatiels and house dust mites. Also, sometimes I'm posting on websites and forums, the links to species or families.

It's a big ask, but perhaps the features are already there and only need a tiny adjustment or tweak.

Can someone on the oztree/onezoom project, or someone who has any ability or time beyond mine, note the way youtube URL access formats are described here, and list or collate such a thing for Onezoom?

UPDATE: I see this here. Aside from a specific feature, being able to have it zoom in at different speeds, or control where it zooms in, this set of URLs probably answers my questions or covers my requests to some extent.

Thanks for your request @xenek I wonder if the follow page which is in beta testing (but not linked to) will meet your needs

We also have some issues open that will be getting attention regarding how to define a URL better to pinpoint the intended place on the tree and to better survive the process of being copied out of the browser URL and shared with a different device

547 and #548 are both relevant here.
