Add function in $location which creates a link href given parameters

[sodacrackers]

I have a simple search app with URLs like: /search/?q=fish&p=2&l=30&cat=2,3,4. While I'm able to redirect using $location.path('/search/').search({q: 'fish', p:1 }); There's no output for links like above or, creating app links from input like {q: 'fish', p:1 }.

Please provide a getter like $location.createUrl([string, object]) so that I can create links in themeing, without knowing the current directory, if it's html5 or, having to add another function that makes URLs from an object.

Why would you want to have the urls hardcoded instead of using something like ngRoute or ui-router to handle the query param construction?

Support middle-clicking or so themeing can use javascript to create proper application URLs.
