Target same route with different parameters in ui-sref

[ghost]

I'm in my search route, where I have 3 different parameters setup, and I want to toggle between them. The problem is that if I'm on a state with ?agency=6, and in ui-sref I put ?advertiser=6, it appends the agency on it automatically. Is this by design or a bug? If by design, is their a way to override it? I saw that setting null works, but that's a bit cumbersome as I allow up to 10 parameters in this state.

<div><a ui-sref="search({ agencies: deal.agency._id })"><i class="fa fa-youtube-play"></i>{{ deal.agency.name }}</a></div>
<div><a ui-sref="search({ advertisers: deal.advertiser._id })"><i class="fa fa-money"></i>{{ deal.advertiser.name }}</a></div>
<div><a ui-sref="search({ externalusers: deal.salesPlanner._id })"><i class="fa fa-group"></i>{{ deal.salesPlanner.name }}</a></div>

By default, ui-sref inherits parameters from parent states when generating URLs and transitioning, since that's generally the desired behavior. Disabling this (and other things) has come up once before, however, and there are plans to add a companion attribute to tweak the behavior.

Alright, well I guess I'll try to just create an object from a scope function to pass the nulls for the other parameters until this gets added.

Alternatively, you could make a copy of this and roll your own directive: https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/blob/master/src/stateDirectives.js -- might be less effort.

Closing this as a duplicate of #376 to keep discussion in one place.
