question: this wouldn't work with jupyterlab, would it?

[yarikoptic]

there seems to be no direct url to the notebook, and a "path" in the url to the notebook is routed to command to just open that notebook: https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/urls.html . An evil attempt to urlencode options to pass into the notebook filename sure thing results in the message that notebook isn't found. I wondered if you by any chance is aware of some workaround? ;)

@yarikoptic I can't think of a good way to prevent arbitrary code execution, especially as you might want to pass a objects such as dicts or arrays, and ideally you wouldn't want to be restricted to python.

In principle it could be made to work with Jupyterlab but it's a lot more complicated than this simple notebook extension. Since JupyterLab is an IDE it's not as simple as just passing parameters in the current browser window, you'd need to go through JupyterLab to get the current notebook (presumably loaded by , wait for it to load, then add the parameters cell.
