I am working with the AAS publisher (IOP) to do a couple proof of concepts for how to integrate WWT into journal articles. One that I hadn't thought of before was searching text in the article for sky coordinates (RA/Dec) and then forming a URL such that a click on the coordinate opened up WWT in a new tab and moved it to that location.
This is would be done in the same way as the sharing function in the web client. I was testing this out and I fired up the web client and searched for the location of a supernova (11:49:36.02 +22:23:48.1) and clicked the share button. I get the following URL:
I then paste that URL into another browser window (Edge and Chrome on Windows 10). It seems to ignore the number and displays coordinate 00:00:00, +00:00:00.
This is a lower priority, but I have gotten the web client in a state where the Field of View "eyeball" does not update and stays on 0,0 (and visually doesn't show any motion of the sphere as I change my view).
