NPT-NPW bridges

[Robinlovelace]

The only way to jump from NPT to NPW currently is via the LA tab.

Would it be possible to jump from NPT to NPW from the map?

And would it be possible to capture the map state, e.g. zoom level, so that you jump into NPW at the same point as where you are in NPT?

It occurred to me that that functionality is impressive and potentially useful in ActDev. I imagine it could be useful for some use cases here.

Thoughts @mvl22 and @dabreegster ?

This could be useful for more discoverability, sure. NPW doesn't yet support "deep links" to exact states in general (nptscot/npw#80), but if we just want to land on the "pick project / explore layers" first mode and use the camera from the URL, I can make that work easily.

I could imagine this as a button on the left side of the map, though I have no idea what icon would be appropriate.

[Robinlovelace]

Great. And adding a similar button to NPW could be good. Use case: when you want to go into 'quick glance at data without LA boundary issues' mode while doing some NPW stuff.

[mvl22]

Agreed that this is dependent on nptscot/npw#80, as that would then provide state as to which section is open, to which we could then link into.

Sounds doable but Phase 4.
