This solution is common and works great, but Ive never really liked it
myself since it involves munging URL's and making them look ugly. I like
nice short URL's I can email. In my more situation specific solution I give
access to the stored session snapshots along the lines of
....?load_ssn=Default will load in the session named "Default" for that user
allowing them to be bookmarked...
