Linkable items

I want to integrate Legend with other applications. One simple way to do this would be to be able to generate reference links to those items.

For example, let's say I want to use legend to keep my "mental context" for tasks I have to do. But at work maybe I am using something like Azure Devops to keep track of my workload (<barf emoji here> Don't judge, it's just a theoretical example, ok?). When looking at an ADO ticket ideally I would want to quickly open up the Legend item that it refers to by embedding a link.

This is not something that can be done "out of the box" in part because Legend's SPA design. When I move between items, Legend does not expose a link in the browser URL bar could potentially be used to navigate directly back to that item. The suggestion is to either 1) have the browser URL follow the currently viewing page (https://www.legendapp.com/?id=<big ugly guid>) or else create a new function to generate such a link from the command menu. The target of the link provided would open a web page directly focused on the item.

This would be even more powerful if the link provided could take the user directly to the view of the item as well. That would allow linking to specific boards / views. However the most important point would be to go to a specific item.
