E.g.: blah&view=Arabidopsis&level=GeneSelector&gene=AT1G19250,AT3G24160,etc.

We should add a button to the cross app toolbar that says "Generate Link", which opens a popup window with a URL that would reload the screen to this particular view. Maybe also copy it to the clipboard.

If we want to be super fancy we can also put a "generate short link" sort of like Google Maps does.

Great idea! Sort of like a lite-version of the session file eh?

Exactly.

I'm wondering what is the maximum number of genes we'll be able to load into memory in a session. If it's more than twenty, the load/save functions will be life savers. If it's less than twenty, a long URL could be sufficient.
