For example, if I have this param -- string :username, I should be able to share it with group “my-group” with username “myName”. Something like this: https://mydomain.com/g/my-group/reports/100?username=myName

I recently suggested it would be great to allow query parameters in reports. That way, I could share a [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) URL with a default parameter already filled in. Something like this:

Would anyone be interested in implementing this feature?

If not, does anyone have any pointers that could help me implement it myself?
