If my app is storing a users history/click path/etc in a database/file/etc, and they wanted to bookmark a page they like, is it possible to create something like an id for that page that the browser can use for the bookmark URL?

For example, a user is on my site, www.site.com/app/, and they're doing all kinds of things and they end up with a page that has just what they're looking for and want to bookmark it; when they go to bookmark, can my app feed a URL like this to the browser?: www.site.com/app/?23ksdf923

When the user comes back to this URL, they'll be exactly where they were. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Yep. Provide a "permalink" which users can click and bookmark.
See that all over the place.
