Short description of the problem:

Currently, there is no way for a user to bookmark a certain route. The nav stack is cool, however, we need a way for a given route to be shown in the browser bar and have that route (and any route params) be handled by ionic2/ng2 to load the applicable page/component.

An app that may have routes with optional params becomes virtually impossible to build with bookmarking in mind.

What behavior are you expecting?

I would like the option to have the ng2 routing at my disposal and not just the nav stack.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Build a multi page app with pages that may consume optional params
2. Navigate to a page with params specified and bookmark it.
3. Return to the bookmarked page. The applicable page does not load.

Which Ionic Version? 2.x
