We have an extension registered on the admin.order-details.action.render target, which renders as a modal on the Order details page in Shopify Admin.
Some of our merchants use third-party software to manage orders and rarely visit the Shopify Order details page directly. They’ve asked if we could provide a permalink they could embed in their external tools - one that would open the Shopify Order details page with our app’s modal already visible.
I noticed this behavior already exists during development: when accessing an extension via the developer console, it opens the page with the modal displayed automatically. It would be great to have an equivalent mechanism available in production - for example, a URL scheme or query parameter that triggers a specific app extension modal on page load.
This would make it much easier for merchants to jump straight into an app’s workflow from external systems without extra clicks.
Thanks for considering!
