Feature request: allow setting web client features from direct-launch-url

We use the "direct launch URL" feature of the AVD web client to deep link users to a session desktop (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-app/direct-launch-urls?tabs=avd). One of the reason we use the web client is because we use AVD in exam halls on Chromebooks in kiosk-mode. The ChromeOS kiosk-mode only supports websites.

 

Students are faced with a connection dialog in which they can toggle IME and Special Keys. The students have to enable IME, but since these are university-owned devices, they do not know and just click "Connect".

 

We would like to be able to configure these client options automatically. For example, as query parameters in the direct-launch-url.

Ideally, we would also skip the "Connect" dialog entirely and just go strait into the session once the direct-launch-url is loaded.

    The suggestion of using query parameters is just a suggestion. Other options like pre-set localstorage flags or post messages, etc would be options as well
