Current behavior

Currently Angular does not provide a way of passing additional data with router.navigate.

There are many use cases for this, described in related issues which were unjustly closed without fulfilment:

• Router navigate with Route Data #5217
• Passing parameters without adding them to URL #8515
• [Router 3.0.0-beta.2] "data" parameter exists in Route and unable to pass data dynamically #9804
• Router: Support Setting State Object When Navigating #10248

#10248 is not actually closed, but addresses only a part of the problem.

Expected behavior

Here is an example how it could work taken from #5217:

// exactly like @RouteConfig
this.router.navigateByUrl('/path', { data: { entity: 'entity' } })

The given data should be accessible everywhere where route.data is accessible (in the target component, resolvers if any etc.)

Environment

Angular version: from 2 up to the current.
