Suggestion

Enable deep linking, e.g. https://chainlist.org/?chain=xdai

Result of deep linking could be:

  • Navigate direct to a single entry.
  • Populating the search field

Populating the search field may be the lowest technical hurdle, as there is no new UI. Just a function to parse querystring -> populate searchfield textbox

Why?

So that it can be used in documentation to assist onboard users.

I was going through the steps to use Metamask with xDai, and they helpfully link to chainlist frontpage. Allowing a deep link straight to the details of that entry could help with UX on chainlist

Document page for reference https://www.xdaichain.com/for-users/wallets/metamask/metamask-setup#setting-up-metamask-for-xdai
