Linking Between Portlets

Hi,

We're developing a number of applications as Portlets within Jahia. Some of
these applications provide different functionality for the same data (e.g.
a Purchase order). We want to be able to link from one Portlet to another,
providing parameters to load specific details in the linked-to portlet.

e.g. one portlet shows a list of Purchase Orders and we want to link to the
details of that Purchase Order in another Portlet.

In some cases the Portlets may be on the same page, but more commonly we
expect the Portlets to be on different pages. As we are developing locally
and then deploying to a development server and then promoting to QA and
Production, I'm not sure that the page ids will be consistent between the
environments.

Is there a syntax for URLs that can be used to link between portlets? Is it
possible for the request to be an action request, and can we bypass the
caching? Do you have any recommendation for how we can target portlets on
different pages if the page ids may vary between environments?

Thanks,
