My understanding is that you can go to that spot in the course, copy  
the behemoth of a
URL (with all the options) and then paste that into a page, and that  
would work. As long as
you include the parameters, I think that uniquely describes the  
resource AND it's location
in your course.

Anybody else - does that "break" anything?
