Other maps are interested in linking to census tracts in the CEJST directly but this functionality isn't currently supported #2208

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. One of the developers of the BIL map in Louisiana (https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/1e05919a65744cd7af115f46b0072880/) has interest in sending users of their map directly to the CEJST (census tract to census tract). Currently this is not supported because the tiles are dynamically created. I let them know about the option to use the CEJST Shapefiles and integrate CEJST into their map but the request does not seem unreasonable. It would be good to generate linkable URLs that select a specific census tract in the CEJST. Right now the best you can do is generate the lat/long string but that just centers the tract. The person still has to make the selection.

Describe the solution you'd like static linkable URLS to select a specific CEJST Census tract.

Describe alternatives you've considered See above use the lat/long string = no selection use the Shapefile to integrate into other maps

Additional context There is an email to the support channel from Andy at Louisiana.gov on this request
