Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/qc73v9va/49/ If you click Profile, then click the `Click me for query` link, you'll be redirected to the homepage. My use case is that I want to be on any route `/x/y` and then easily attach a query param to it / update it. Maybe I'm doing this wrong, but I expect `route` to do that. I can obviously grab the location, but just wondering if this is expected behavior.
