I think we are reinventing link relationships, just better.

You can’t really “toss” a URI, you are tossing a document (that contains the URI).
If that document does not specify a link relationship (a purpose), you need application state going along with that or you don’t know what to do with the URI.
If that document does contain a link relationship (and possibly further parameters), these become part of the application state, hopefully together with the provenance of that tossed document.

Grüße, Carsten
