@braunsonm Feel free to add the more technical details you found

Hey so I took at look at this yesterday.

The usually method would be to encode the redirect URL in the state parameter in OAuth requests. However you do not have control over this in the bell library, the state is hard-coded. My other idea would be to save the redirect URL as a cookie when you trigger the redirect to /login here. Then restore that link instead of the hardcoded redirect to / here.
