Execute permalinks without refreshing page
I haven't seen any activity on this subject via searches in the past six months, so per this forums guidance, I'm starting a new thread.
I've noticed that WME chat, or perhaps specifically the WME Chat addon script, allows PLs to be followed without refreshing the entire WME browser web page. This is a very nice feature since the chat window itself is not refreshed and neither is the state of that session nor all the loaded scripts. This really saves time when reviewing multiple PLs highlighting segments to understand a complex problem you're reviewing with someone outside of WME chat. There's a few other examples where the editor can currently jump to locations without a refresh (such as the stock "areas" interface), so this wouldn't seem to be a very far stretch of existing functionality.
I'd like to see this extended for the general editor. I had the same thoughts as this previous, and dated, forum thread that suggested the WME search box accept PLs directly. Since you can jump around by zip code or address searches without a refresh, I think this would integrate in nicely. The editor shouldn't really have a problem parsing out a PL. Being able to specify IDs for segments, nodes, etc. without a refresh would also help, but handling the PL directly would be the most convenient by far. By isolating this behavior to the search box, you'd also have the flexibility to load the PL in a new window or refresh the page as it works now if that's your objective.
At the very least, are there any scripts that aid in this?
