How do I do that neat thing with a quick link in my browser?

Look in the list of quickie browser javascripts ("bookmarklets") and see if there's one for what you want.

Bookmarklets

• Edit page in new window
  javascript:window.open(location.href+"?action=edit")
• View history in new window
  javascript:window.open(location.href+"?action=diff")
• Open Printable View in new window
  javascript:window.open(location.href+"?action=print")
• Edit page attributes (passwords) in new window
  javascript:window.open(location.href+"?action=attr")
• View RSS for page in new window
  javascript:window.open(location.href+"?action=rss")

Note: To open above links in the same window -- change "window.open" in any above to "window.location.replace". May not work in all browsers.

Alternatively use the format javascript:location.href+="?action=attr" -- refer below for more examples.

Bookmarklet Wish-List

Do not confuse this recipe with the Bookmarklet recipe. This recipe displays the code necessary to create a bookmarklet with your browser but does not create a link on your PMWiki page. GNUZoo 08 21 2006 12:30 CST
