Not sure if this helps. Examples below - these are for SSRS report links but you can use the same approach with some changes to the syntax and criteria for the qual line reference. I'm sure you could use same approach on a field and use workflow to auto build the qual line.
FYI - important to use field IDs and not labels when using "qual=..." due to bug when field contains special characters.

I added a display-only field to the bottom of one of our forms that just lets you see, click, and/or copy the URL to the current request. An AL just sets a field to https://..../arsys/servlet/ViewFormServlet?form=" + $SCHEMA$) + "&server=") + $SERVER$) + "&eid=") + $Request ID$ and the field has a display type of Show URL. This makes it very easy to share a request with someone over email, IM, etc. Now I am wondering about the same thing but for queries. If I perform a web query by making some selections using the form or in combination with the advanced query toolbar and then clicking search, is there a way to capture that qualification into a field to be used in a URL that includes the "mode=search&qual=<query here>"? This would be tremendously useful. I find myself often manually constructing these URLs to include in emails, etc. It's very tedious and error-prone. Any other suggestions are welcome.
