I have a requirement in which a variable url (https://mysite.com/a_variable_page/specific_part_within_page/?some_other_info_to_be_stripped_and_processed) will be sent as a link to a user of our enterprise app. Due to security reasons, they must sign on every time they access the webapp so any link will automatically redirect to /login. The requirement states that after login they would then be redirected to the passed link instead of the home page.

I assume this can be done with session storage? As part of the redirect, it would grab that url and store it, recalling it and routing to it after a successful login. Are there other methods that would be worth considering? Are there limitations with this method?
This is all in Angular 5.

Usually your Auth provider should let you use a library to integrate their services with your app.
The entry point of this lib should give you the option to dpecify a redirecting url after login.

void scroll

Since the user has visited the URL before being redirected, there's a chance that the URL will now be available in history,
So after login, you can redirect the user back, using history.go(-1)
