[Feature Request] Add settings checkbox "retain queries when clicking on links" #3049

Open PetrusKiendys opened 7 years ago

PetrusKiendys commented 7 years ago

Request: Similar to how there's currently a "retain headers when clicking on links" in the settings I would like to retain query parameters. These get stripped off when clicking on a link.

Case in point: This might not sound like a big deal but it has caused me some headache when managing configurations through REST API:s. We're using an API that responds with configuration in the form of XML. Removing a particular query parameter collapses some nested XML-tags, which means I'm now looking at a shallow representation of our configuration instead of the full depth. In worst case I copy this config and make a PUT request which causes the shallow config to overwrite the nested structures.. A human error occurs because I forgot to add a query parameter when navigating through links in the config.
