URL link with an associated parameter setting

Dash Python
1

Please let me know if this is possible. I have a multi-page app displaying stock market results. I want to have a link to another page with reference to another stock. So my link defines href=“page/symbol”, parse the symbol and it works. The problem is that when the user gets to page/symbol they have the opportunity to change the symbol using a dropdown and the original symbol lingers in the URL.

So the question is how can I do one or both of the following within Dash:

  1. Have a link that sends the user to page with the equivalence of them also selecting the symbol within a Dropdown (or any other control item)

  2. Reset the url from page/symbol back to page when the user resets the symbol

thanks

I believe that is possible by using the location component,
