What is the problem or goal you're trying to solve or accomplish?
Users want to share, or bookmark, a link that opens a dashboard directly on a specific tab or nested tab. Today the dashboard URL in the address bar doesn’t reflect the active tab, and neither does the link produced by Share → Copy link. Recipients and bookmarks therefore always open on the first tab. The customer also wants tab URLs to be readable and stable (for example, ?tab=sales-overview) instead of opaque identifiers.
How are you solving it currently?
They use the link icon that appears when hovering over a tab. It generates a permalink (/dashboard/p/<key>/) that opens the correct tab, confirmed for both Workspace Admin and Dashboard Viewer recipients. The limitations:
The link is opaque, not human-readable.
It captures the state at the moment it was copied.
The address bar after opening it no longer includes the tab, so a bookmark taken from there loses it.
Users must know the icon exists, since the main Share dialog doesn’t preserve the tab.
What is your recommended solution?
Allow dashboard tabs to have a definable slug or name that can be used in the dashboard URL, so links to a specific tab stay readable and keep working when shared or bookmarked.
Related upstream work: Apache Superset PR #45495 (in review, not confirmed merged) adds an active_tabs URL parameter that keeps the URL in sync with the active tab. It uses internal tab IDs, so it would address tab preservation but not readable slugs.
