We have a need to retain parameters in a URL, for user search and referal purposes, but not as an embedded referal link.

e.g. : domain/widget/?11302012

Is there a way to ensure that if that URL is embedded as a referal link, that it can be redirected to an SEO friendly version without parameters, whilst retaining the need to apply it for user search.

e.g. : domain/widget/

I think not, it's either one or the other, but thought i'd ask in case there is a method that can work.

Why not serve the rel=canonical tag on the page?
