Update current content editor url to reflect currently opened item.

Describe the new feature

Update url in the browser to reflect currently opened item.

How does this help you?

It would allow to easily copy current item url. It would also allow to use back/forward functionality in the browser.

If we couldn't add this feature, is there a compromise you can think of?

Are you aware of Back and Forward buttons in NAVIGATE section?

I would say they are a compromise.

Updating URL is problematic as it will cause a page to reload.
There is also other problem with this.
You can use Content Editor in two ways

• direct application window - URL ➡ /sitecore/shell/Applications/Content%20Editor.aspx
• application invoked via Desktop - URL ➡ sitecore/shell/default.aspx
  You can see URL is different in those cases so it cannot be explicitly used all the time to store CE state.
