Customer Engagement & Dynamics CRM Forum

Hi all~
Wondering if anyone has found a way to create a URL to a specific Tab within a specific record in CRM?  In other words, the URL "https://<company domain>.crm.dynamics.com/main.aspx?appid=<app GUID>&pagetype=entityrecord&etn=opportunity&id=<Record GUID>" opens the record on the Summary tab.
I'd like to give users a link directly to another tab on the form where they need to make changes to background information for that record.  Trying to make it easier for them to find the correct tab. I'm thinking that it might be another piece of the URL like "&section=<schema name or name of tab/section on the form>"
Has anyone found a way to do this?  Thanks so much for any thoughts or ideas!

1. Create a field on the form for the tab to display - or a string field that's generic and can have a string for each tab. 
   1. E.g. string field created called new_NavigationTab
2. Set this field as needed as a new parameter in the URL
   1. Reference documentation here: Set field values using parameters passed to a form (Developer Guide for Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement) | Microsoft Docs
   2. To navigate to the tab, tab_SecondaryTab, append this to the record URL: &extraqs=new_NavigationTab%3Dtab_SecondaryTab
3. Now the last piece is to create a JavaScript method in the form On Load
   1. Check value of new field, new_NavigationTab
   2. Based on the value of the field, you can use setFocus to expand the given tab
