Updating and formatting URL in dashboards for shorter format

Versions (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):

Describe the issue:
I would like to suggest updating the url to a convenient format, the smaller and more concise it will be convenient for the user to distribute it in the future. In my opinion, this should be done in advance before the project is not big. I would like to hear your ideas, is it worth implementing?
this is my first topic in the forum, I think I’m doing everything right)

Configuration:
every browser, you can check for example this huge url:

https://playground.opensearch.org/app/dashboards#/view/722b74f0-b882-11e8-a6d9-e546fe2bba5f?_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(pause:!f,value:900000),time:(from:now-7d,to:now))&_a=(description:‘Analyze%20mock%20eCommerce%20orders%20and%20revenue’,filters:!(),fullScreenMode:!f,options:(hidePanelTitles:!f,useMargins:!t),query:(language:kuery,query:‘’),timeRestore:!t,title:‘%5BeCommerce%5D%20Revenue%20Dashboard’,viewMode:view)

Relevant Logs or Screenshots:

Under share, you should be able to select Permalink > “Short Url”
The URL doesn’t stay short however, but it is an easier URL to distribute.

As @jasonrojas mentioned, we do support generating short URLs.

While I agree that the long, stateful URLs are unwieldy, but they do have some advantages when it comes to sharing and collaboration. It sounds like you’d be interested in providing some additional feedback and ideas on this proposal, which would move much of the state info to local storage: [Proposal] Data persistence using session storage by default instead of using URL · Issue #2903 · opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards · GitHub
