Seeding the web client with a search

I did some poking in the web client and it seems it might be possible to open the client with some query parameters to go directly to certain views. I was hoping someone could shed some more light on this.

I would like to generate a url that would send a user directly to a search result in the web client. Maybe send them directly to a container too. Is any of this possible?

Are there any docs out there on developing with the web client and not killing yourself when upgrade time comes around?

Thanks,
Charlie

If I may, I would recommend using the webservices API to build the same. Much more easy when it is upgrade time.

From your previous posts you seem to be doing some of that stuff already. So it would not be too big of an effort to go in that direction.

Is there any particular reason why you want to use the web client only to accomplish this?

I am using the web services to provide information for computer consumption. For the task I posted this about, I want to provide a link in another application that would direct users directly to content in the MediaBin web client. Generating a custom page doesn't allow the users to act on the results (e.g. grab a derivative image).
