Describe the feature you'd like

I'd like the ability to specify names of URL parameters, that if found in the current page request, will show up in all URLS that bookstack generates for internal content.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

There exists a great iframe and theme hack at https://www.bookstackapp.com/hacks/iframe-specific-tweaks/, but all the generated links do not contain the iframe=true and theme=dark parameters. Thus, when a user taps on a link within the iframe, the internal page loads the new URL without the theme override, and loses the iframe formatting (headers and other info show back up).

Adding sticky URL parameters would keep the user experience smooth when browsing within an iframe.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

I don't think so. Possibly with Logical Theme? There would need to be some SESSION interaction. I'll investigate, and close this feature request if a solution is found.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?
